Man United chief Collette Roche reveals promising progress on Old Trafford project

The Red Devils are said to be in positive discussions with several parties. Roche, who has been spearheading efforts to realise the project, appeared on the Inside Carrington podcast and revealed what’s happening behind the scenes. She noted that talks regarding land assembly are going on well and she hopes to have good news on that front soon.

She added that there has been significant interest from individuals and organisations keen to invest in the project. Roche’s update Roche said on the podcast, “We’ve made a lot of progress over the last 12 months but to be fair a lot of it has been behind the scenes so people might not have seen that. First and foremost, on the land assembly, we want to make sure we get the best possible position for the stadium, one which has got plenty of land around it to put the right facilities in place, one that is connected and offers a great matchday experience.

” “I have been spending a lot of time talking to all of the local land owners to understand where that needs to be and we are progressing that really, really well. I am hoping to be able to share some positive news on that front in the next few months. ” “The second area that we’ve done a lot in is around investment and I am delighted to say we’ve had a lot of interest.

There’s a lot of people and organisations that want to invest, not just in the stadium but also in the wider stadium district. Those conversations are naturally going to be behind closed doors. ” She continued, “And the third part but arguably the most important work we have been doing is really laying the foundations and relationships with the people that are going to make things happen.
