Manchester United are importing a sinister US tactic: Public money for stadiums
Briefly

Manchester United plans to replace Old Trafford with a new 100,000-seater stadium, but this requires relocating a rail freight hub, costing £200m to £300m. Supporters argue the project will generate substantial economic benefits for Greater Manchester, including 92,000 jobs and £7bn annually for the UK economy. Despite assurances that public funds won't be used for the stadium itself, moving the hub may rely on government funding, raising concerns about the financial structure of the project.
