No leaks yet on club's final decision over Old Trafford

The Red Devils are faced with the dilemma of having to rebuild their current home or consider relocating to a new location, having suffered the side effects of a stadium that is in need of repair.

Water leaks appeared once again during a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal last month, another reminder of Old Trafford's sorry state.

As reported in yesterday's M.E.N on Sunday, a sustainable design to transformed United's ground by Norwegian company Vill Arkitektur has emerged, focusing on a circular stadium shape to break away from the current structure, and plenty of other ideas have been brought to the table by external parties:

Sir Jim Ratcliffe's aim

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has hopes of turning Old Trafford into a ground capable of housing up to 100,000 spectators. Explaining his vision for this plan, which would involve knocking down Old Trafford and rebuilding on the current site, the United coowner told the Geraint Thomas Cycling Club podcast: "You have got this opportunity if you choose to, to build a completely new ground because we have got enough space to build a completely new ground. If you built a completely new ground it would absolutely be state of the art, world-class, 90,000 or maybe even 100,000.
