Man Utd in talks to expand Old Trafford

Manchester United are stepping up plans to expand Old Trafford.

The Daily Mail says United have opened discussions on a major redevelopment of Old Trafford that could see the stadium's capacity increase to 80,000.

The club has often come under fire from fans over the lack of improvements to the stadium and issues including leaks from the roof of the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand.

The development will not solely focus on the stadium with United also keen to explore different ideas for improvement of the entire footprint around the ground.

Despite being England's biggest club ground at 74,140, Old Trafford as a whole has not had significant development since 2006.

Meanwhile, United's Premier League rivals Arsenal, Manchester City and, most recently, Tottenham have all moved into new grounds.
