Manchester United's new stadium will form part of a wider regeneration of the Old Trafford area, predicted to be the biggest such project in the United Kingdom since the transformation of the Stratford area that accompanied the 2012 Olympics in London. PA
United say the entire project has the potential to create 92,000 new jobs, will involve the construction of 17,000 homes and bring an additional 1.8 million visitors to the area annually. PA
Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said he wanted to build the "world's greatest football stadium" which the club hopes could be finished in five years. PA
United's decision came after an extensive consultation process around whether to develop the existing stadium or build a new one. PA
The stadium will be built using pre-fabrication, shipped in 160 components along the neighbouring Manchester Ship Canal. PA
Foster and Partners designed the new Wembley Stadium, which opened in 2007, and the Lusail Stadium, the venue for the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar. PA
Manchester United predict the project will be worth an additional £7.3bn per year to the UK economy. PA
