Manchester United<\/a> have completed the \u00a350m revamp of their Carrington training ground which co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe<\/a> claimed will give them world-class facilities to help them build a winning culture.<\/p>\n

The redevelopment was paid for by Ratcliffe as part of the $300m capital injection he provided when he took a minority stake in the club and United\u2019s squad have moved into the remodelled training centre after their return from their pre-season tour of the United States.<\/p>\n

Ratcliffe cut the ribbon at the opening ceremony, watched by Ruben Amorim<\/a>\u2019s squad, and unveiled a plaque to the late Kath Phipps, the receptionist who worked at the club from Sir Matt Busby<\/a>\u2019s time in charge until her death last year.<\/p>\n

Players and staff had input into the design of the new Carrington, organised by Foster + Partners under the Mancunian architect Lord Norman Foster<\/a>, which has included upgrading equipment and technology.<\/p>\n

Ratcliffe said: \u201cFollowing a review of the facility last year, we made a quick decision to invest significantly in the creation of a world-class performance environment for staff and players to reflect our ambition and vision for Manchester United. We are delighted with the outcome and are confident the new facility will play an important role in building a winning culture at the club.\u201d<\/p>\n

United chief executive Omar Berrada added: \u201cThis project represents a clear step towards 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before that, United had spent \u00a310m on a building for the women\u2019s first team and men\u2019s academy, which was opened in 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":68805,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-68804","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68804","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68804"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68804\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68805"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
