Glass? I think the white thing is a net, not glass.

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?
Poor Ashley Young
Looks absolutely hideous from the outside. FFS 
More chance of us scoring that way.
Should have asked Cantona, someone with class.
Looks incredible. How long will it take? 10-20 years?
They're aiming for 5.
I was just going to mention the other pitch. Is that going to be for the other teams use and maybe local community groups as well. Hope it is part of the project.
We'll be so rich by that point that we can employ a team of 24/7 pigeon snipers.
The actual pitch/stands looks a bit vague from the promo.
Really pleased with the fans being close to the pitch like OT. Should look good on screen and in person and quite distinct.
Love the ambition! (Winning 3-0)
Not a fan of the design. Don’t like the things sticking out- makes the stadium look like minars.
I wasn’t sure at first but the more I look at it the more better it gets it’s fecking insane
Looks incredible I think. It's very exciting to see the club getting a new, modern stadium
Thanks, I hate it.
It looks ridiculous, like a giant circus tent. The three spires are so offputting.
edit: I get the three spires are supposed to represent the trident, but it's a very chessy on-the-nose type of presentation.

Looks like a circus tent.
My first thought was would that mean you lose that bizarre and dangerous ditch around the pitch. I can't believe they would keep it!
Roll up, roll up!
Same here. I was sceptical at first but the more I look at it more I like it.
Looks amazing. It's such a tough one as I'll miss Old Trafford massively, but this would be a huge step forward for the club.
I liked big sir Jim's optimism in the Overlap interview. Let's hope he's the right man to get us there.

I think it looks incredible personally. Will be sad to lose Old Trafford but it’s in dire condition and space is very limited.
I think the towers could look more trident like.. obviously until I read that I didn’t have a clue that was what they represented. It’s different and I’m happy with that.. too many stadiums these days look like giant toilet bowls so I’ll certainly take different.

Well it's certainly iconic. San Siro vibes.
No chance. I can't see how they build massive pre-fabricated stadium parts and then sail them down the Ship Canal. How do you transport the thing to the canal side in the first place?
Take the net off, and that's exactly what it will be underneath.
It won’t be @Solius transporting it
Most unrealistc thing is surely the kid with "Mount 7" on the back of his shirt?
On the design, I think people are being a bit too precious. I actually like it's ambition and break from tradition. Let's be honest, if it had been too similar to OT then people would have questioned why we're rebuilding, and had we redeveloped the board would have been attacked for lack of ambition. That's certainly not something that can be levied against the current proposed design.
I actually quite like the look of it, although it does take a little getting used to. One of my absolute favourite stadiums growing up was the old Bayern Olympiastadion and the design with the tent definitely reminds me of that. I'm sure whatever it is will look a lot better in-person, not dissimilar to when our kits finally come out.

Who knows, maybe by the time stadium will be built Mount will be an iconic United player.
We will still be waiting for him to come back from injury when the stadium opens.
Letting spiders take over the architecture industry was a mistake.
True, I hear good things about his unborn son Jason Mount....
I like it, it's a generic bowl on the inside but that is what stadiums are these days but the outside is bold and I think it'll go down as iconic.
Absolutely delighted. Not taking any notice of the artists conceptions shown so far because I've seen how far from reality they usually are in past cases, but the gist of it is brilliant.
Jason Bourne will kill it for us.
Glazer's let Old Trafford rot when they could have easily done some improvements and renovation throughout the last 20 years. So don't at all blame INEOS for not wanting to dump money and plan renovations for current Old Trafford and instead just build a bigger better (at least as far as structure and amenities go) modern day stadium.
I don't hate the design and actually like it more as I look at it

The SAF stand will be renamed in the new stadium I guess ?
