MANCHESTER UNITED fans are not convinced after a stadium designer mocked up an image of a redeveloped Old Trafford.
Sun Sport reported yesterday how Qatari investors have turned their attention to a takeover of the club after failing with a bid to buy rivals Liverpool.
The Glazers are hoping for a full sale of United for around £6billion.
But Uefa were today urged to block any offer from the Middle Eastern country due to concerns over Qatar’s ties to Paris Saint-Germain.
However, it’s reckoned European football’s governing body will not KO a bid from Qatar.
And a previous report had claimed that Old Trafford could be DEMOLISHED and rebuilt if the Qatar group completes their United takeover.

United have already appointed a team of leading consultants to create a “masterplan” for the redevelopment of the Theatre of Dreams.
They are believed to have consulted with the architects of Tottenham’s state-of-the-art 63,000-seater stadium.
Now YouTuber Bondibot has created three potential designs – but supporters are not that impressed.
The first shows Old Trafford with an expanded capacity to 74,310 and the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand getting a complete redesign.

The next one featured a 360-degree facade like the Allianz Arena in Germany with a new roof and expanded Sir Alex Ferguson stand.
And, should the Qataris buy the club, another was drafted up to show a new training ground sitting where Old Trafford currently is with a new mega stadium nearby.
But the fan reaction to the images on Twitter were not great, with one describing it as “a metal bedpan?”
Others believed it looked like a “spaceship from the future” while fellow Twitter users described it as a “giant toilet seat”.
