Manchester United have confirmed that they hope to open their new 100,000-seater stadium in time to host matches at the 2035 Women’s World Cup.
The revamped version of Old Trafford, pleasingly dubbed ‘New Trafford,’ was one of 22 venues included in the list of stadiums put forward by Britain’s joint bid for the major tournament this week. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are currently running unopposed in the race to host what would be the 12th iteration of the competition.
