Manchester United’s co-owner Jim Ratcliffe says the club’s newly renovated training ground is now a “world-class performance environment” capable of helping restore the Red Devils to their former glory.

The £50 million ($67 million) upgrade to Carrington — United’s home base since 2000 — was completed during the 2024/25 season. Ruben Amorim’s squad moved into the refurbished men’s first-team facility this week after returning from their pre-season tour of the United States.

Ratcliffe, who invested $300 million in infrastructure after acquiring a minority stake in the 20-time English champions last year, said the decision to overhaul the training ground came swiftly after a review of the facility in 2023.

“Following a review of the facility last year, we made a quick decision to invest significantly in creating a world-class performance environment for staff and players to reflect our ambition and vision for Manchester United,” Ratcliffe said on the club’s website. “We are delighted with the outcome and confident the new facility will play an important role in building a winning culture.”

The redesign was led by Foster + Partners, the same firm commissioned last September to develop plans for a new 100,000-capacity stadium.

United are seeking to bounce back from their worst league finish in 51 years, having ended last season in 15th place. They have not lifted the Premier League trophy since Sir Alex Ferguson’s final campaign in 2013.

Amorim has been backed in the transfer market, with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo already joining, and Benjamin Sesko set to arrive from RB Leipzig in a £74 million deal.
