Design is subjective but I quite like it, very unique and ambitious.
New Stadium | 100k Stadium to be built - design visualisation released

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
That looks absolutely amazing.
Maybe it's just me, but I love the design, it looks unique and we must be unique.
Can't say I'm too bothered about the exterior look of the stadium. Hotel Football is so ugly that it's basically ruined the walk to the ground for me anyway.
As far as the inside of the stadium looks, the roof is so high that it will be difficult to maintain a good atmosphere in the same way the Stretford Ends traps noise.
At least we won't be piss wet through with a leaking roof anymore though!

They aren't outside PSR scope, no.
They'll likely be able to borrow the money at good rates seeing as it's part of a government-backed regeneration project for the city. The idea obviously is that the additional revenue generated from the stadium will more than cover the repayments.
But whilst the stadium's being built... well, they need to create some room in the budget somewhere which is probably why you're seeing mass redundancies, cuts to staff benefits and increased tickets prices...
Yep. We must stay at Old Trafford.
You were going to hate it however it looked. It does look like a circus tent though.
I know you guys are cutting costs but getting a stadium from GoOutdoors or Decathlon UK is a surprise.
Well I love it. We’re going to have the best stadium in football despite being a shit show of a club for the past 10 years. No other club could do anything close to this.
What on earth is that?! Will need a bit of time to digest that design. It’s certainly different.
It looks like stretched condoms over the stadium
I think they should have kept some more of the design of old Trafford
I get the idea of the 'trident' but my initial thought on seeing it was that it looks kind of like a giant mosque 
the netting changes the natural stadium shape to a dome and then they've put the 'trident' in like minarets.
I'm at a point where I don't really mind what it looks like, getting a modern stadium will be great no matter what but I had thought there would be more of a nod to the red brick, old trafford history, maybe some clever way to incorporate the famous cantilever roof.

There is a physical Red Cafe there too! In the video.
My thoughts too. They wanted iconic / stand out and something to define that part of Manchester. Purely from an architectural standpoint its ambitious and creative which we don't see enough of in football or out of football
It might trap noise in the Stretford End but this high roof looks like it's designed for maximum reverberation around the entire stadium. Think of any major theatre!
It looks amazing!
I cant get there x links to do anything. It just says 'something went wrong, please try later'
Its a unique design for sure which is nice. Not arsed with the rest of it.
Preparation for your Qatari brethren.I get the idea of the 'trident' but my initial thought on seeing it was that it looks kind of like a giant mosque

Twitter is being hacked so is pretty unreliable.
This is just Conceptual Design, I'd imagine the end product to be wildly different.
Apparently will be visible from the outskirts of Liverpool in good conditions.
I like the sound of that

Hopefully this looks better in real life than it does in this video. I want a new stadium. I was thinking we'd go in the direction of Barcelona. The best I can say about this is its different.
Yup. I’m all in.
One of a kind stadium design, and from the concept images/video it all seems top shelf.
Fitting of the club’s stature and I like the “trident” towers. United should stand out.
Big dog, big nuts
I love it. It's unique.
You can't please everyone, so there's no point trying.

Isn't that an oxymoron?
I'm all for progress and development, and the idea of a new stadium is cool. But it is very fecking weird looking. Dunno how I feel about it from a design standpoint.
They would not dare release that if they didn't get assurance from some their builders and regulators that it can be done. That's what they expect it to look like at the end.
So the key questions are how it's going to be paid for, and if Old Trafford is staying until it's fully completed.
The photo at night with the spires lit up in red looks beautiful
Anything on whether the old statues around Old Trafford will be kept? Will there be space for the Munich clock/memorials, and will the stands keep their names?
Anyone got a map view of where exactly it’ll be in the area? Guessing within the same pocket by the canal?
Also, agree on the red brick aspect. A stadium that clashes modern and traditional Manchester design would be great. The current pictures just reflect the ambitions of everyone else building in the city, ie glass and metal. It’d be a shame to see a Manchester with major landmarks having zero influence from traditional style - the whole place will be grey like the sky soon

I genuinely did wonder if it might be some long term plan of Ineos to sell to Saudi, Qatar etc. after Sir Jim's throwaway comment in the G Nev interview.
No more getting wet from the rain/leaks.
