Gary Neville BACKS Manchester United plans to demolish Old Trafford to build a brand new ground, insisting the club have 'fallen behind' and will be better off in a 'super stadium with the best facilities'

Gary Neville has backed a potential Manchester United plan to demolish Old Trafford after reluctantly admitting the current ground has fallen below elite standards.

Sportsmail revealed on Monday that the plan to demolish the ground on the existing Old Trafford site is one of three options the club are currently considering.

Another idea is to rebuild the club's ageing South Stand over the railway line behind it - which has always been problematic to the stand's potential development.

The third option is to leave the ground intact but to revamp the spectator and corporate areas within all four sides of the ground.
