Manchester United have been teeing up golf courses as potential sites for a new training ground.
Mail Sport understands that club officials – wary of space limitations at the Premier League giants’ current base – have focused on courses in the South Manchester area, and even held preliminary talks with one golf club.
All options remain on the table but the view at United is that a move from Carrington, where they have been situated since 1999, may give them the best option of creating a world-leading facility.
It is understood that any site would need to be a minimum of 100 acres of buildable land to come anywhere near to matching United’s demands.
