Manchester United has welcomed the announcement of government support for the project to regenerate the area around Old Trafford. In a statement on Saturday evening, The UK Treasury said Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was championing the Old Trafford project as “a shining example” of the government’s plans to promote economic growth.

Manchester United is working with Trafford Council and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority to develop plans for the regeneration of the Old Trafford area, with the development of a world-class stadium for Manchester United at the heart of the project.

While Manchester United would be responsible for the stadium development, support from public bodies would be needed to unlock the wider regeneration opportunity, including improved transport infrastructure and housing.

Reacting to the Treasury statement, Omar Berrada, CEO of Manchester United, said: “The delivery of a world-class stadium can be the catalyst for major regeneration

Manchester United have issued the following statement on Antony... "Since allegations were first made in June, Antony has co-operated with police inquiries in both Brazil and the UK, and he continues to do so.

"As Antony’s employer, Manchester United has decided that he will resume training at Carrington, and be available for selection, while police inquiries proceed. This will be kept under review pending further developments in the case.

"As a club, we condemn acts of violence and abuse. We recognise the importance of safeguarding all those involved in this situation, and acknowledge the impact these allegations have on survivors of abuse."

Manchester United acknowledges the allegations made against Antony and notes that the Police are conducting enquiries. Pending further information, the club will be making no further comments.

As a club, we are taking this matter seriously, with consideration of the impact of these allegations and subsequent reporting will have on survivors of abuse.

Manchester United winger Amad will miss the first part of the Premier League season.

The 21-year-old sustained a knee injury during the tour of the United States that is going to keep him out of action.

It is a blow to the youngster's hopes of making his mark, after being involved in the earlier stages of our pre-season campaign.

Amad is, of course, sidelined for this weekend's double-header against Lens at Old Trafford and Athletic Club in Dublin, with both games live on MUTV.

The Ivory Coast international scored in the game against Rayo Vallecano in 2022 when we also had back-to-back friendlies on a Saturday and Sunday.

Unfortunately, he has also been ruled out of the first part of the 2023/24 campaign, and we await further details on his estimated recovery date, with the home league clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers up first for Erik ten Hag's Reds on Monday 14 August.

Amad enjoyed an excellent season on loan at Sunderland last term, top scoring in the league with 13 goal
