From the video

Answers: What is wrong with Old Trafford stadium and why hasn't it been redeveloped?

• Old Trafford stadium infrastructure
• Manchester United stadium redevelopment
• Premier League stadium comparisons
• Stadium logistics and capacity constraints
• Club ownership and financial investment

What it concludes

• Old Trafford has fallen behind rival Premier League and European stadiums due to decades of underinvestment and lack of significant upgrades under the Glazer ownership.
• Logistical and physical constraints, such as the adjacent railway line behind the South Stand, make expansion expensive and complex.
• Matchday revenue remains high, but financial commitments to stadium improvements have stalled and expansion projects have been put on hold.
• The combination of high club valuation, financial limitations, and the impact of the pandemic makes major restoration of Old Trafford unlikely in the near future.
