Foster + Partners tasked with the design, promising to uphold the club's history.
Architect Patrick Campbell shares Sir Jim Ratcliffe's brief: “The finest football stadium in the world.”

Fans and community groups will be consulted to balance heritage preservation and future growth.
Foster + Partners aim for a football-first, fan-centric, heritage-respecting stadium — but can it match Old Trafford's iconic aura?
