Old Trafford picture special as Manchester United consider huge renovation

Even the most iconic football stadiums can start to show their age and hold a club back. That's what Manchester United are finding with Old Trafford, their home for the past 112 years.

The 'Theatre of Dreams' - fortress of the Busby Babes and Sir Alex Ferguson's 1999 Treble winners - has witnessed hundreds of unforgettable moments down the years.

Old Trafford may be the second-largest football stadium in Britain, its 74,879 capacity puts it behind only Wembley's 90,000 seats, but the place is starting to show its age.

Little surprise, then, that United are considering various options to bring their home up to the kind of modern standards their fans demand.
