Jim Ratcliffe, owner of Manchester United, announced that he would build the “world’s largest stadium” for the team, but fans were confused by the planned design.

The 72-year-old billionaire revealed the plans for the construction of the stadium, which he described as “truly state-of-the-art,” last Tuesday (11).

The architectural firm Foster + Partners, working on the historic project, also shared conceptual images, but fans quickly divided over the strange design.

“2 billion pounds to design a circus tent – perfect for exhibition football. Looks like a UFO docking station,” one user said.

“Architects of the Manchester United stadium on ChatGPT: ‘How do we incorporate the devil’s trident into a stadium?'”, joked another.

However, not everyone agreed with the criticism, with some fans praising the stadium’s design. “The best stadium I’ve ever seen,” commented one. “Looks really good. Loved the trident thing,” said another.
