EXCLUSIVE Manchester United considering selling naming rights to Old Trafford as they seek to drive up revenues as part of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s plans to refurbish Old Trafford or build a new stadium.


Man Utd have also held talks with major financial institutions, including Bank of America, as they explore ways to fund the stadium project. Unclear at this stage whether fresh borrowing/debt would be placed against Manchester United or INEOS.

On naming rights, one possibility is that if Old Trafford refurbished, you keep Old Trafford but have an associated partner (eg Spotify Camp Nou, Kia Oval) but new build could simply see X name stadium (eg Emirates stadium/Etihad Stadium model)

One of the reasons Stoney left a couple years ago was broken promises as far as investments. There’s also the canceled end of season party (agree with the men’s team but the women’s team should’ve still celebrated their first FA cup win)

Also, with the Carrington revamp, apparently the men’s team will now be moved to the women’s brand new training pitch while the women’s team get to train in portable buildings

Yeah that’s true about Stoney. But tbh since then we have invested more in transfers and wages as much as anyone in the WSL and have built the womens team a state of the art training complex at Carrington and there own training pitches which is only second to Cities women’s team.

And it’s natural with a massive multi million pound Carrington refurb and extension there is gonna be upheaval. It’s not only the womens team it the Academy, Men’s, and all staff that will be affected. And there temp dogs won’t exactly be wooden huts lol. People read portacabins and automatically think ports loo I think.

Yes the womens team is secondary atm to the men’s which is how it should be. But there still well paid and will still have a brand new state art of the art facility to return to. Same as the men and Acadamy team who are also having there own wing built.
 
🤩🤩🤩 makes sense now why Nikita Parris won’t get her contract extended.

Understand Manchester United are set to trigger the option-to-buy clause in Melvine Malard's loan agreement to sign her permanently from Lyon. She is currently contracted with Lyon until June 2026 but United will make her their player this summer. #mufc

Glazenomics in glorious technicolour.

He's as much a Utd supporter as I am an Evertonian. Absolutely no understanding of heritage and history.
 
Was the right time!

Been a great servant though but she fell right off the last 18 months.

It’s a shame really the clubs / ground has been run that badly in there tenure we even have to think about measures like this for a new stadium. If true 😡😢

You can do that with carrington or rename a stand for all I care to raise funds but the trademark “Old Trafford” is strictly off limits. No true United fan would even entertain this idea.

It’s just plain disrespectful to the history of the club. Rather have a new stadium built where they can make that anything they want.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Carrington is on the agenda either. Old Trafford definitely has to remain in some way if it gets renamed some how!
 
Ten Hag has been weighing up a reshuffle of coaching duties after a turbulent season and it is felt Van der Gaag may see now as the right time to step away. He has ambitions to be a No 1 again, having managed in Portugal and Holland previously. [@lauriewhitwell] #mufc

René Hake confirms to Dutch television he’s set to sign for Man United as new assistant coach.He’s leaving Go Ahead Eagles to join Man United coaching staff, as well as Ruud van Nistelrooy.Exclusive story, confirmed.
 
Be a very good signing. A big upgrade o Millie Turer to partner Maya Le Tissier.

Morning! Understand Manchester United are set to sign Dutch defender Dominique Janssen, who recently left Wolfsburg medical booked, on a free transfer. Also told Mary Earps’ departure is set to be confirmed by United today. Story on BBC Sport shortly. #mufc

So to recap what we've reported on Mary Earps... Expecting Man Utd to confirm her departure today. Club offered her a good deal (equal to PSG) but she wants to compete for regular silverware & is set to join PSG. Believe her PSG contract will be for two years.
 
Well from reading Ornstein, Duckers and the Times latest it seems a RF CB, LF CB, DM and a STR are the priorities. Then LB, RW and RB will depend on outgoings and funds raised.

Looks like atm it’s De Ligt, Branthwaite, Ugarte, Zirkzee
