Manchester United's iconic home of Old Trafford has been in decline for years.

The stadium - which has housed the club since 1910 - has not had work done on it since the Glazers took over in 2005 and that has resulted in former players and fans alike criticising the state of the once-glorious Theatre of Dreams.

However, the introduction of Brit billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe has brought optimism back to the supporters with hopes they can become one of football's giants again and have a stadium to match their lofty expectations.

The 71-year-old has already pledged to invest £245million into Manchester United with plans to overhaul the club's ageing infrastructure which suggests major plans to update Old Trafford. Criticism of its leaky roof and sub-standard facilities has become a consistent theme - one Ratcliffe will surely hope to put an end to.

While the multi-million pound investment promised by Ratcliffe will go towards the physical infrastructure at the club rather than bringing in talent on the football pitch, it leaves fans in the dark on exactly what Old Trafford would look like in a few years.

The club have majorly fallen behind the times as rival clubs have jumped ahead of United in the modernisation of their stadiums with Tottenham moving into a billion-pound new home a few years ago while Liverpool have increased their stadium capacity by over 10,000 seats in recent years.

Various ideas regarding Old Trafford have been floated around, including a massive revamp or simply demolishing the celebrated home of the 13-time Premier League champions. At least, according to AI, a major touch-up on the stadium could have devastatingly brilliant aesthetics.

The demolition job - while it will prove to be a heart-breaking goodbye - could be the best way forward for Ratcliffe in dawning a new era at the club, according to Populous chief executive Chris Lee.

"Well, I would say this wouldn't I, but I feel the new build may well turn out to be the most cost-effective solution," Lee told The Telegraph. "Yes, the initial outlay is obviously the highest of the three possible options, but there is so much land available to develop there."

We're a long way away from the AI images being delivered to Manchester but a new era is certainly afoot.
