Crazy first images of Man United's proposed new £2bn stadium have been revealed

The first images of Manchester United's brand new stadium have been revealed as plans to move away from Old Trafford have been confirmed.

Plans for a new United stadium were confirmed in August this year, as new owners INEOS look to create a stadium of national significance.

Leading the task force for the new stadium is former Olympian Lord Sebastian Coe, ex-United defender Gary Neville and Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester.

And while at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, Burnham revealed the first images of the brand new stadium which will replace the current the 74,000-seater Old Trafford.

While a redevelopment of Old Trafford was initially considered, United will instead move ahead with plan to build a brand new 100,000-seater stadium believed to cost around £2billion, with British architect Sir Norman Foster creating the blueprints.

While unveiling the first look at the plans, Burnham spoke about the ambitions for the new stadium.

"This would be the single most significant football location in the world," Burnham told Sky Sports.

'It would mean the north west of England has the best football infrastructure of anywhere else on the planet.

"This would create a development on the west of Greater Manchester to balance what Manchester City have done in the east."

As an Everton fan, Burnham said he understood desires of United fan's to stick with the club's historic stadium, but assured that the positives would outweigh any negatives.

He added: "I can understand, as an Evertonian, the emotional appeal of regenerating your old spiritual home.

"But sometimes it doesn't make sense because you can't have the best stadium in the world when you do that.

"What I could say to Manchester United supporters is that we want to help your club in if they are going for a new build, to do it as close to their spiritual home of Old Trafford."

As for Old Trafford, plans initially suggested that it would be kept as a smaller-scale second venue for the club, but it looks increasingly likely that it will instead be demolished.

30,000 fans were consulted about what to do with the historic ground, which has been United's home since 1910, and believe there is roughly a 50-50 split on staying or moving.

The new stadium will be built on club-owned land opposite Old Trafford, with the development planned to be finished in 2030.
