Will the New Old Trafford Look Like a Big Top?…
Ryan Giggs isn’t holding back any chuckles about the proposed ‘trident’ design for a new 100,000-seater Old Trafford. While Manchester United dreams up plans that would make even circus designers blush, fans are taking jabs, calling it a tent fit for the greatest show on earth! Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe optimistically claims it could be built in five years, but Giggs wryly thinks otherwise.
Giggs, amidst gala schmoozing for Foundation 92, shared his thoughts with the Manchester Evening News. He fondly reminisced about iconic stadiums like the Nou Camp and the Bernabeu, hoping United’s makeover doesn’t resemble a misplaced theme park. “If it’s a new stadium, it better be the best,” Giggs stated, while dismissing the design as pure fantasy. The Peak District might get a skyline upgrade if the trident rises, but Giggs just suggests we stock up on popcorn for now.
Nicky Butt chimed in, emphasizing that while change is good, this ambitious project seems like a page from a magician’s trick manual. With a hefty ÂŁ2 billion price tag and a start date as elusive as an Oscar-winning actor spotted outside Hollywood, Manchester United might need a double dose of magic dust to pull off this spectacle. But hey, at least the community got a hefty ÂŁ267,000 boost, thanks to the evening’s shenanigans!
