Manchester United Completes £50 Million Training Facility Redesign

MANCHESTER, England — Manchester United has announced the completion of a £50 million redevelopment of its men’s first-team building at the Carrington Training Complex. This year-long project, led by Foster + Partners and renowned architect Lord Norman Foster, aims to provide world-class facilities for players and staff.

The project was financed as part of a $300 million investment into the club by Sir Jim Ratcliffe last year. It was finished on time and within budget, arriving more than a week before the 2025/26 Premier League season kicks off.

The new facility features upgraded equipment and technology, focusing on fitness, nutrition, recovery, and team unity. With input from players and staff, the design emphasizes functionality, openness, and connectivity through increased natural light and open workspaces.

Ruben Amorim’s squad entered their remodeled home for the first time this week after spending a year in temporary accommodations. Some members of the club’s executive leadership team also relocated to the new building, indicating a shift in the club’s center of gravity towards Carrington.

“After reviewing the facility last year, we quickly decided to invest significantly in creating a world-class performance environment,” said Sir Jim Ratcliffe, co-owner of Manchester United. “We are delighted with the outcome and confident the new facility will play a crucial role in building a winning culture at the club.”

Omar Berrada, the club’s CEO, added, “This project represents a clear step toward unifying every part of the club around a shared footballing vision. By bringing our staff and players closer together in one integrated environment, we are creating a culture of collaboration and high-performance.”

The redevelopment follows a £10 million construction for the women’s first team and men’s Academy in 2024, bringing total investment in Carrington to over £60 million in the last three years and further integrating all of the club’s teams into a single, modernized campus.
