Man United move to match Man City after new announcement – Keith Wyness

Keith Wyness, the former chief of Everton, has suggested that Manchester United intends to emulate Manchester City’s success in the city following their plan to redevelop the Trafford Wharfside area.

 

During a recent episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the 66-year-old—who served as CEO at Goodison Park from 2004 to 2009 and now leads a football consultancy advising top clubs—pointed out that the Red Devils are “late to the party,” as City’s influence is already well-established in Manchester. On Monday, September 9, Manchester United announced a strategic partnership with Trafford Council and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.

 

Their aim is to “create an ambitious vision for the Old Trafford area, focusing on how a top-tier stadium can drive broader regeneration.”

 

United plans to replace their current stadium with a new 100,000-seat venue.

 

In contrast, Manchester City has already revitalized the area surrounding the Etihad Stadium, which was originally the site of the 2002 Commonwealth Games.
