Fans are speculating whether Manchester United's new £2billion stadium design has been copied, after a post made by former club chief hinted that it is glaringly similar to a 115,000-capacity venue being built in Morocco ahead of the 2030 World Cup.

Manchester United on Tuesday morning, showing off the design which includes a glass and steel 'umbrella' canopy to keep fans dry inside and outside and three giant towers inspired by the Red Devils’ trident.


A huge wraparound scoreboard also features in the plans, along with a three-storey museum and canal-side restaurants as part of a vast fan village in a project Red Devils co-owner Sir

believes will ‘preserve the essence of Old Trafford… while transforming the fan experience only footsteps from our existing home’.
