The story is five years old and still hasn't got a timescale. Just the usual PR guff. It would have been a front page lead for the Fantasy Island Gazette.

Man United consider expanding Old Trafford capacity to 88,000

Manchester United are considering increasing the capacity of Old Trafford to 80,000 with the option to then add another 8,000 seats should they wish. It has been a decade since Old Trafford last underwent expansion, when the club increased the number of seats from 68,000 to 76,000 in a...

That story has been rehashed in the Daily United twice in the last Week and a half. If the Daily United can’t make up an article about United, Ole, or the United players, they will dig up anything about United and make an article out of it, just to keep United relevant and the clicks coming in.

The vast majority don’t buy newspapers.

True. But.

Sadly the Daily United occupy the top 2 spots by a mile.

Where’s the Sun?

Just seen the BBC's Simon Stone on the local news and he was indistinguishable from the rrags on Harpurhey market they were interviewing. Never realised he was that rough looking. Came across as your usual deluded red fan. How on earth does he get to put questions to Pep for the BBC?

BBC News have a story on a Saudi dissident calling their leader a psychopath. They managed to shoehorn a Newcastle reference into it.

Welcome to our world Barcodes.

Tonights running order on the Daily United online.

The Daily United has wheeled their big guns out. Samuel, Ladyman, and Herbert. A real journalistic old boys club.

Ladyman has decided to pick the United team to face Spurs on Saturday for Ole.

As you can see, the articles combined have generated millions of comments and shares.

Don't worry, City get a mention as well.

Glazer neglect says Herbert once again living up to his name. Neglecting them by lavishing billions on them.

Hate the way he and other idiots use Liverpool as an example of a brilliantly run club in contrast to Utd. In the last decade Utd have won more trophies.

I suppose if he is using liverpool as an example of how a club about to enter administration a little over a decade ago, begged and received state aid from a government owned bank, and then were sold for a low price to American owners who will make a sizeable profit if/when they are sold (well over a billion profit, not to mention the PL money they mostly pocket each season), then I suppose they are a success story for American venture capitalism.
