Man Utd to boost capacity
United could expand even further
Manchester United are considering expanding Old Trafford by a further 7,500 seats to a 75,000-capacity.
A statement from the club said other facilities at the Premiership's biggest stadium might also be upgraded.
"A feasibility study is underway to evaluate the technical, financial and planning issues on completing the north-east and north-west quadrants.
"Any decision to proceed will be taken by the board in due course and announced thereafter."
Officials have previously resisted demands to increase the capacity, believing the club's current 67,500 stadium large enough for their needs.
The fear at United has been not filling the stadium for every game and ending up in the same embarrassing situation as some of their continental rivals by having a huge ground which is barely half full.
But every Premiership match at Old Trafford has been a sell-out since the last redevelopment was completed four years ago, giving rise to this latest announcement.
No time limit has been put on the study but the extra 7,500 seats could generate in excess of £4m over the course of a full season.
That cash could be vital at a time when Arsenal have confirmed their plans to relocate to Ashburton Grove, where the capacity is likely to be about 60,000.
