We can confirm this key detail following the big media event in London on Tuesday, which unveiled the scale of the plans for the building of a new 100,000-seater venue.
It is anticipated that the works will take around five years but there is no suggestion United will be forced to relocate in the meantime.
Some clubs have been forced to move home while in the process of building new stadia, including Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona, but the plan is that this will not be the case with Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, chief executive Omar Berrada has confirmed that the stadium could host women's and Academy matches in the future as well.
