Roy Keane Reacts to Manchester United’s Stadium Plans and Financial Concerns
Manchester United's legendary captain Roy Keane has shared his thoughts on the club's ambitious plans to redevelop Old Trafford, a project that has sparked both excitement and concern among fans. Keane praised the 'fantastic' vision for the stadium but highlighted a significant issue that could be 'hard to stomach' - the potential use of public money to fund the redevelopment.
According to reports, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has proposed that up to £300 million of public funds could be used to support the project. This has led to a heated debate about the ethics of using taxpayer money for a private football club's stadium. Keane's comments reflect a broader sentiment among supporters who are proud of the club's history but wary of financial implications.
In addition to the stadium news, Manchester United's managerial search continues, with Ruben Amorim expressing his eagerness to win trophies quickly if appointed. The Portuguese coach's ambition adds another layer of anticipation to the club's future, both on and off the pitch.
