Manchester United has announced the completion of its £50m redevelopment of the men’s first-team building at the Carrington Training Complex.
It marks an important milestone in the club’s commitment to providing world-class facilities for its players and staff.
The year-long project, led by Foster + Partners under the direction of renowned Mancunian architect Lord Norman Foster, has successfully delivered a leading-edge, high-performance training environment designed to inspire collaboration, innovation and excellence.
The project, financed with part of the $300m of capital invested into the club by Sir Jim Ratcliffe last year, has been completed on time and within budget, more than a week before the start of the 2025/26 Premier League season.
Equipment and technology have been upgraded throughout, with a focus on fitness, nutrition, recovery and team unity.
Designed with input from players and staff, priority has been placed on functionality, openness and connectivity, with increased natural light and open workspaces.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, co-owner of Manchester United, said: “Following a review of the facility last year, we made a quick decision to invest significantly in the creation of a world-class performance environment for staff and players to reflect our ambition and vision for Manchester United.
“We are delighted with the outcome and are confident the new facility will play an important role in building a winning culture at the club.”
Omar Berrada, chief executive officer of Manchester United, added: “This project represents a clear step towards unifying every part of the club around a shared footballing vision.
“By bringing our staff and players closer together in one integrated environment, we are creating a culture of collaboration and high-performance.”
Redevelopment of the men’s team building follows the construction of a new £10m building for the women’s first team and men’s Academy in 2024, bringing the total investment in Carrington to more than £60m over the past three years, and unifying all the club’s teams in a single, modernised campus.
