The project will develop a vision for club-owned land around the stadium

Foster + Partners is to be appointed by Manchester United to lead the development of a masterplan for the Old Trafford Stadium District. This project will cover club-owned land surrounding the stadium and aims to create what the practice describes as “a world-class football destination”, alongside mixed-use developments intended to benefit the local community.

The masterplan will focus on attracting new residents, creating jobs, and enhancing the area as a vibrant destination for visitors from Manchester, across the UK, and internationally. The process will involve extensive consultation with fans, community members, local authorities, and the Old Trafford Regeneration Task Force, with their feedback incorporated into the design.
