Man United fans rave over ‘leaked’ Old Trafford tunnel redesign after video shows traditional walkway’s ‘stunning’ overhaul ahead of the 2024-25 season

Manchester United fans raved after appearing to spot footage of the club’s newly-designed tunnel at Old Trafford on social media.

The 13-time Premier League champions have been amongst the busiest movers in the open transfer market after already signing both Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his new INEOS sporting team are determined to take United back to the top of European football and also want to improve the overall fan experience at the iconic stadium.

Fans were ecstatic upon seeing the new design as expectations continue to be raised around the club ahead of the upcoming Premier League season.

Reacting to the modern design on X, one fan commented: ‘Ineos have done an incredible job. The new Tunnel is,’ alongside emojis showing their delight.

Another excited supporter added: ‘I cannot explain it but it is the small things like this that will make INEOS extremely successful at Man United and take us back to the Sir Alex Ferguson days again.’

‘Damn this looks stunning,’ said another fan, while a fourth reply stated: ‘Wow, was here in Feb and the difference is unreal,’ after seeing the new tunnel.

Meanwhile, United’s players will have to wait to get a glimpse of the walkway as they prepare to embark on a pre-season tour of the United States.
