The new Old Trafford is set to be put up for FIFA’s consideration for the 2035 Women’s World Cup — but only once the stadium plans are confirmed.

Manchester United have confirmed they want the revamped Old Trafford to be ready in time to host the 2035 Women's World Cup.

Cities including Glasgow, Sunderland, Leeds, Nottingham, Birmingham and Brighton have gone public with their desire to be included in the World Cup bid. Birmingham’s proposed new 62,000-seat stadium planned to open in 2030, may be included on the FA’s long list. Belfast is, unlike at Euro 2028, expected to host matches. The FA declined to comment.

United’s failure to protect a second-half lead sparked an explosive reaction from Roy Keane, who said the team once again showed why they continue to drop crucial points.

Manchester United visit Wolverhampton Wanderers to conclude yet another gameweek in the Premier League on Monday night.
