United's current home is by no means perfect. Sometimes the atmosphere has rightly been criticised but against Liverpool in the FA Cup, it showcased why supporters love it and what the 'New Old Trafford' would need to live up to. Solving United's stadium issues is more than just increasing the capacity to rival Wembley, it needs to help maximise the home advantage which has been lost in recent years. At the end of the day, it will be up to the team that Ratcliffe and his staff build which shall define whether the move is a success or not.
