Whether it’s a redevelopment of Manchester United’s existing stadium - or a brand new £2billion 100,000-seater venue - the Theatre of Dreams as we know it will be gone.

We delved deep into our archives for this lot and we hope you enjoy them. A little different to the play we had with AI the other day which gave us futuristic images of how the stadium could look in a few years.
