However, Ratcliffe is not just focused on the club itself. Plans have been unveiled to transform Old Trafford into the "Wembley of the North," and now attention has turned to the surrounding area.
Trafford Council has confirmed that discussions are underway for a "Trafford Wharfside masterplan" that will turn the area around Old Trafford into a vibrant neighborhood. This ambitious project could see the construction of up to 5,000 new homes, while also addressing the climate crisis by creating a greener and more natural environment.
United fans are particularly thrilled about this development, as Trafford Council has emphasized that the project will provide a high-quality setting for the club's plans to create a world-class football stadium.
Unsurprisingly, fans have taken to social media to express their excitement. One fan asked, "What is Sir Jim cooking?" while another exclaimed, "INEOS are working fast!" Many are simply delighted by the prospect of exciting times ahead.
The draft plan will be discussed at a council meeting later this month, and a public consultation will follow in the near future.
