Man Utd completes Carrington training ground transformation

Manchester United has completed the £50 million redevelopment of its Carrington training base, delivering a high performance environment ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League season. The project, led by Foster + Partners and completed on time and within budget, includes upgrades to fitness, nutrition, recovery and collaboration spaces. Players and staff helped shape the design, with a focus on openness, connectivity and natural light. The redevelopment is funded in part by a $300 million capital investment from Sir Jim Ratcliffe last year, underscoring the club strategy to align infrastructure with long term performance.

Investing in the base signals a long term plan for a club that has faced questions about ownership and finances. The Carrington upgrade may improve daily routines, player welfare and team cohesion, which can translate into better results if the coaching and recruitment align. However the funding link to external investors invites scrutiny about independence and future returns. If the upgrades meet expectations on the pitch, the club will benefit from stronger fan confidence and sponsor interest. The real test lies in performance on match days and the ability to sustain the pace across a long season.
