Concept images of United's proposed new stadium have been released via Lord Norman Foster, the award-winning architect. United said they will look for public funding for infrastructure of the £2BILLION project - but will not look for money for the stadium build. Coe's appointment does need to be signed off by government - but that is viewed as a formality. United are also set to appoint a head of senior recruitment, according to The Athletic. This newly created role will oversee the club's senior scouts and report to director of recruitment Christopher Vivell.
