Manchester United has launched a new round of supporter consultation on its proposed 100,000-seat stadium, inviting fans to influence the design of the planned replacement for Old Trafford.

The consultation covers stadium atmosphere, matchday facilities, club heritage, transport connections and the wider stadium campus. Supporters have until 6 November 2026 at 12:00 GMT to submit their views.

The latest phase follows a 2024 consultation involving more than 50,000 supporters, the majority of whom favoured building a new stadium over redeveloping the existing Old Trafford.

The new survey focuses on five areas: the matchday experience, heritage and legacy, atmosphere, the wider stadium campus, and transport to and from the venue.

Manchester United has contacted season-ticket holders, official members and hospitality customers directly, while also making the consultation accessible to other supporters.

The club will follow the survey with a series of focus groups to examine design proposals and supporter priorities in greater detail.

Findings from the consultation will be shared publicly, including how supporter feedback has influenced the stadium design.

Stadium Development Remains in Planning Phase

The proposed stadium forms part of Manchester United's wider ambitions for the redevelopment of the Old Trafford district.

Collette Roche, the club's CEO of New Stadium Development, described the project as one of the most significant Manchester United will undertake in the next century.

"Above all else, this is a football stadium built for them, so getting the details right matters," Roche said, referring to the club's supporters.

The latest consultation marks another stage in the proposed stadium's development. Manchester United has yet to confirm a final construction timetable or opening date.
