If you thought Old Trafford was big, wait until Manchester United's new ground is finished for their proposed new 100,000 seater stadium.
The Red Devils have managed to secure 25 acres of land which is a significant boost for their development plans.
The land that has been acquired is close to United's current stadium with club bosses believing the promising project will cost around £2 billion.
Old Trafford holds a capacity of 74,197 as Man Utd aim to expand bigger by owning the largest sports arena in the UK.
Why The Land Acquisition Matters For Manchester United
The CEO of the new stadium development, Collette Roche, believes this is a promising sign as work and planning can continue going forward.
"Today's news highlights the progress we're making towards a world-class new home for Manchester United and represents a significant milestone as we move into the next phase of development," she said.
The significance of the land secured is that it's close by to the original Man United stadium, so the football culture can be maintained.
It's a sign that United fans club will remain the same, but have a bigger stadium, fitting more supporters and building a larger community.
"Being able to build so close to Old Trafford allows us to preserve the heritage, traditions and rituals that are so important to our fans," Roche said.
It's also been made clear by Roche that the new UK stadium will be beneficial for supporters in their bid to build a new stadium.
She added: "We are committed to building a world-class stadium with our supporters, not just for them, with atmosphere, affordability and accessibility at the heart of our thinking."
What Happens Next In The Stadium Development Process
As announced on 22nd June, Keir Starmer is stepping down as the Prime Minister and a key figure in the new stadium development is looking to take his place.
Andy Burnham who is currently the mayor of Greater Manchester is expected to become the UK's next PM, which will hopefully not affect United's plans.
Over a year ago, Burnham was supportive of the project in the new 100,000-seater stadium, but his some of his focus will not lead towards that anymore.
It's believed the details of the new ground's plan and a professional assessment will be released on 9th July.
The club are currently putting their focus on the design phase, hoping to impress their supporters in this exciting project.
If the regeneration of Old Trafford is successful, it will become the second-largest stadium in Europe, ranking just behind Barcelona's Spotify Camp Nou of a capacity of 105,000 after the stadium refurbishment is complete.
