The Chancellor has green lit the Old Trafford and surrounding area development. Not surprising with Andy Burnham involved. Nothing concrete on percentages of funding yet and for what parts. They are planning to have everything agreed by the end of the season.
The current Secretary of State is greenlighting any plausible development project atm so this could all move quite quickly to a proper agreement.

Devil will be in the detail.
Development to benefit the community, build houses, improve transport (although the need for transport improvements is much more pressing in other parts of town) then great.
Any funding for the stadium, or any purchase of land from United has to be to the ultimate benefit of the taxpayer, not to non domiciled Ratcliffe.
And they better not sell the "Wembley of the North" as a community benefit. No one in the north wants a Wembley of the North, no-one needs it.

It is a government backed project. Everyone is going to be upset and there will be enormous waste and cost over runs. Raynor/Reeves will definitely push the Wembley of the North line down everyones throat.
Look how much growth we've accomplished haha
I expect the stadia to be fully funded by Banks/United with the benefits to the surrounding area to be jointly shared by United and the community but mostly if not completely funded by the government.
