Old Trafford,Andy Burnham MP

The Old Trafford regeneration task force held its inaugural meeting and Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham attended.

The Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham described the first Old Trafford task force meeting as 'introductory' and reiterated the decision is in Manchester United's hands.

On record, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has said it's his preference to build a new Old Trafford, to create a 'Wembley of the north' and a 'stadium that's befitting the club and the brand'. "Obviously our role is to facilitate the club's decision. We're there to help with the information, evidence, perspective, sometimes adding broader perspective that sometimes the club aren't aware of.

When asked how often the task force will meet, Burnham said: "The aim is to move with the pace. I don't think anyone wants to hang around. Clearly it's in the hands of the club, our aim is to help facilitate their decision whenever they want to make it and as quickly as they want to make it, but it's complex.
