Manchester United have secured the majority of the land needed for their new 100,000-seater stadium, the Premier League club said on Monday. United had announced plans last year to build the 2 billion pound ($2.65 billion) stadium, which would be the largest in Britain, next to the existing Old Trafford. The club said it had acquired a 25-acre site, located approximately 350 meters (about a quarter-mile) northwest of Old Trafford, from industrial space provider Indurent and a Blackstone portfolio company.

Manchester United has secured most land for its new 100,000-seat stadium near Old Trafford. The £2 billion project targets a 2032 opening date.

CHRIS WHEELER: United are continuing to work on acquiring the rest of the land needed, but insiders say they do not expect any issues.
