Manchester United will begin a £50m renovation of their Carrington training complex next week. The project, led by renowned architect Norman Foster, aims to transform the men’s first-team building into a “world-class” facility.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe highlighted the need for the upgrade, noting that current standards have fallen behind those of rival clubs. “This project will ensure Manchester United’s training ground is renovated to the highest standards,” he said.
The revamp will initially focus on enhancing the gym, medical, nutrition, and recovery areas. The design will emphasize space for collaboration and innovation among players and staff. Temporary adjustments will allow all teams to continue using the site during construction.
This follows the recent £10m upgrade to the women’s and academy building, bringing the total investment in Carrington to over £60m in two years. The men’s, women’s, and academy teams will stay at Carrington during the renovation, though temporary relocations may occur.
Lord Foster commented, “Our aim is to modernise and revitalise the building as a catalyst for future footballing success, creating spaces that inspire a culture of collaboration, unity, and belonging.”
