Manchester United’s Changing Rooms And Media Facilities Upgraded

Sign above entrance to Manchester United As part of a £20m revamp at Old Trafford, Manchester United have upgraded their changing rooms and media facilities.

Due to Covid-19 protocols, last season the away teams were accommodated in a temporary structure. United have now enlarged their home changing room and moved the away team to a new, bigger away changing room on the other side of the player tunnel. Improved post-match media facilities will also be featured in the tunnel area.

This is only part of an overall programme of works at the ground. United has spent over £20m across the summer and into this season. The work included painting and cleaning the stands and cantilever girders, relaying the pitch, installing new floodlights across the stadium and rail/barrier seating installation in J Stand.

New disability facilities are due to open soon as well, with extensive work at the club's training ground, Carrington, on their pitches and facilities is also taking place.



The 76,000 capacity stadium remains the largest in the Premier League, but in comparison to many other facilities it has become dated. Joel Glazer has promised that investment will be made both on and off the pitch.

Chairman Joel Glazer said: "Old Trafford is at the heart of Manchester United and while we have spent over £100m over the last 10 years on infrastructure projects, we will now accelerate the process of planning much more significant investment and upgrades to the stadium.

"I do want to stress that these projects take time to plan and get right. But, rest assured, we will consult with supporters throughout the process to end up with a result we can all be proud of."

Glazer concluded: "The same goes for our training ground. Preliminary and exploratory planning work is already under way and there will be significant funding available to further enhance our facilities and ensure they remain world class."
