While most of the talk surrounding Sir Jim Ratcliffe's minority takeover of Manchester United has focused on squad planning, given that the timing of the deal coincided with the January transfer window, the British billionaire and INEOS face big questions off the pitch as well - namely the future of Old Trafford.

The fate of the Theatre of Dreams may not necessarily seem an immediate issue given United have problems to solve on the pitch given their disappointing form this season, but in a new era of Premier League financial regulations, a modern stadium looks set to be a dividing line when it comes to clubs' ambitions to be among the elite. Though Old Trafford is undoubtedly one of the UK's most impressive stadiums in terms of history, romance and sheer scale, it is no secret that Ratcliffe must make big changes if he is to realise his ambitions of returning United to the top table - both domestically and in Europe.

There are multiple options in terms of what to do with the 114-year-old stadium. The Manchester Evening News understands renovations would be difficult due to the railway lines and the existing structures, and they have been advised a new build is the best option. Though enhancing the stadium would be cheaper than a full rebuild, it would take time and mean reduced capacity crowds, hitting United in the pocket during a period when the club has sailed close to the line in meeting the Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).

Another option would be to follow Tottenham's approach and build a new stadium in close proximity to Old Trafford, playing at the famous stadium while construction work is done. According to the Telegraph, Ratcliffe's grand plan is to create a "Wembley of the North" in a full revamp which would turn the stadium into a world-leading venue.

But each new option brings with it a tug at the heart-strings: few stadia have quite the romance of Old Trafford, with many nights of famous wins, trophies, legends and memories attached to it. It would be remiss to think of the Theatre of Dreams as mere bricks and mortar, and Ratcliffe will have to ensure that any decision made on the future of the stadium acknowledges just how special the ground is to millions of supporters.
