Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel is not in favour of the club moving from Old Trafford to a new stadium. It’s been a terrible start to the season for Manchester United – on and off the pitch.

This has led to increased pressure on Michael Carrick, uncertainty over his future, and intensified fan tensions with the ownership. On top of everything, United are planning to move from Old Trafford into a 100,000-capacity stadium near the current site within the next decade.

The costs could surpass £2 billion, and fans are singing about being against it at matches. To make matters worse, United are currently fourth from the bottom in the Premier League.
