Post: Manchester United aiming to host 2035 Women s World Cup final at old and new Trafford Stadium

On November 21, the Post reported that Manchester United and the Football Association had differences over the venue for the 2035 Women's World Cup final, and they strongly recommended the new and old Trafford Stadium.

Manchester United appears to be in conflict with the Football Association over the choice of venue for the 2035 Women's World Cup final. Manchester United hopes to host the tournament at the new Old Trafford stadium instead of Wembley Stadium.

Manchester United officially plans to build a new stadium with a capacity of 100,000 people, and this plan has received initial financial support of 26 million pounds as part of the entire reconstruction project. The Daily Mail understands clubs are stepping up their efforts to ensure their proposed venue, rather than the National Stadium, can host the women's game's biggest fixture for the next decade.

Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has announced a "growth plan" for the area, which includes 15,000 homes and a stadium with a capacity of 100,000. He outlined an initial investment of £26m in 382 new homes, the first major investment in the Old Trafford regeneration area. Burnham hopes that by 2050, Greater Manchester will be "the second largest city on earth, rivaling any other", and Manchester United's project is an important part of that vision.

Manchester United are currently in talks with Freightliner to purchase a rail terminal behind the Stretford Stand, which is crucial to their project. While the club has not ruled out renovating Old Trafford, the preferred option is to build a new stadium, which is expected to take around five years. Manchester United will fund the stadium themselves and although they have not publicly stated their desire to host the 2035 final, this is clearly a clear goal within the club.

Although officials do not want to conflict with the FA, they believe that a new Old Trafford stadium will be larger and more modern, thus providing a better final venue for fans and FIFA.

Manchester United has always wanted to create a "Wembley of the North" and firmly believes that all major British finals should not be held in London. They are now expected to raise these arguments with FIFA and the FA.

Regarding Burnham's plans, Manchester United chief operating officer Colette Roach said: "We are delighted to see the Old Trafford regeneration project becoming a core part of Greater Manchester's wider growth plans over the next ten years. We want to build the best football stadium in the world as the new home of Manchester United and become a suitable A venue for the biggest international events, including the 2035 FIFA Women’s World Cup, and surrounded by a vibrant business, leisure and residential area, we are determined to work with other stakeholders to make this vision a reality, delivering huge benefits to the surrounding community and the wider region.”
