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?
Is that one tier stands behind the goals?
Inside looks incredible. Massive but fans close to the pitch.
It doesn’t look realistic : we are winning 3-0.
Just watched the Lord Foster video and I really love this project. Absolutely stunning imo.
I really like the design, think it's fresh and quite inspiring. I've been to OT a couple of times but will leave it to the locals to decide whether it fits with the architecture in the area. But I find it rather nice
I think it looks amazing and very special.
The trident glowing red at night looks sick
Really hope it gets buildt

I love the design! Far from your average generic one.
I think it looks a bit daft, it reminds me of being a kid and searching up what the PS3 was gonna look like and you'd get all sorts of mad shit
I thought it was a few hundred yards away?
“Our current stadium has served us brilliantly for the past 115 years, but it has fallen behind the best arenas in world sport. By building next to the existing site, we will be able to preserve the essence of Old Trafford, while creating a truly state-of-the-art stadium that transforms the fan experience, only footsteps from our historic home."
Be real, there is absolutely zero chance of ground sharing with City. That would be a nightmare logistically outside of the fact that one of the world's biggest clubs are not going to go crawling to their arch rivals for a home for several years...
but this is in place of Old Trafford right? so we'd need to find a place to play for 5 years - groundshare with City?
Would be great if they'd name each of the tridents after each on of the Holy Trinty
I don't think our rivalry with City changes that much in terms of potential groundsharing. But I haven't seen the quote you posted, indeed seems like they'd be trying to keep the Old Trafford going for the duration of construction.
5 years seems quite optimistic
No, next door.
There is enough land to build it a few 100m away, and overcome the rail track issues.
It is what is needed IMHO; I am okay with the design but hope those 3 towers can be removed/reduced in height.
This forum constantly reminds me how so much of our fanbase will find any reason at all to be negative.. I’m sure they’re all secretly happy when the rain falls through the roof.. get in! another reason to have a moan on Redcafe.
It’s like that bloke on the fast show..
“Bruno?….rubbish…..Ruben Amorim?? Ruben Amorwhat? .. rubbish!
100,000 seater state of the art stadium? .. that’s rubbish…”

I really like this. I thought we are going to get something round and boring but this exceeded my expectations.
Looks like the Jetsons
I am fully on board with this design under one condition.
I want a Batman style light box on the tallest spire, that projects a Red Devil into the sky, that we can rotate from above Anfield to above the Etihad.

You're not totally wrong but it is obviously also a very divisive design.
Ours looks pretty much bang on but the design isn't as wild. Modern, and still impressive but simpler.
How many stadiums has Foster designed?
I personally loathe the design. But if your going for modern pretentious architecture with shared spaces etc it clearly ticks those boxes. Just hope some thought was actually given to football factors like atmosphere.

I like it, a lot.
The fact that yours is on a dock carries a lot of the weight aesthetically.
Have you seen the video where he talks it through? He talks about that.
It's described as "next to" the existing stadium by SJR.

Presumably it will allow them to keep playing at Old Trafford during development.
I would love to see the footprint of the new ground, old ground though. I think it assumes the freight yard is leaving. That has always been the area where government investment has been the big question.
I think it's a really interesting structure that would be really cool to visit. It just feels like it should be somewhere like Vegas next to the sphere. It looks a bit silly with a backdrop of more standard industrial buildings.
I work in the area, and no it doesn’t go with the local architecture. But none of the existing local buildings go together anyway.
I remember when exchange quay was first built, it looked ultra modern and nice. 25 years on and it now looks like a dated dump. I’m not seeing much classical design in the new stadium, which makes me think it won’t age well.
I like stadiums that are built well, on time and within budget, which provide a good atmosphere, that function well in terms of allowing tens of thousands of fans to arrive and leave quickly and safely, and have good facilities. What it looks like from the outside is very much a secondary concern to me. That said, this looks like a fishnet circus tent.
Looks quite unique. I like it. Not sure how close it will be but looking forward to how it is built and how are we going to afford it
why? It’s as it should be, bold, imposing and impressive. Adding additional height with the towers should mean it can be seen from further away and make its mark on the city.
Love it - in person its going to look incredible.
That’s a fantastic idea!
Has anyone from the club confirmed this will have a proper name
(Rather than Ineos arena or whatever)
