Manchester United could demolish Old Trafford as part of the plans to revamp the stadium, according to reports. The 74,140-capacity stadium has been the Red devils home since 1910 but the club’s owners, the Glazer family, have been criticised for Old Trafford’s lack of modernisation during their tenure.
