Manchester United have confirmed that Ruben Amorim and his players returned to a new and revamped Carrington training facility on Wednesday morning.
Carrington undergoes improvements
Last year, United confirmed that they had initiated work on an ambitious £50m project that would see Carrington be transformed into a “world-class” complex.
A big part of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s bid to become co-owner of United was to invest heavily in improving United’s infrastructure after several years of neglect and pitiful management by the Glazer family.
Award-winning and Manchester-born architect Lord Norman Foster was hired to oversee the renovations at Carrington.
United noted that they planned to revamp the gym, medical, nutrition and recovery areas and insisted there was “a design emphasis on creating more space for collaboration and innovation among players and staff.”
The project ran throughout the entire 2024/25 season and was set to officially open just before the start of the upcoming campaign.
Last week, Amorim said about the redeveloped Carrington, “It’s like a new start with different standards and I think to go to our building, to the new building is like a fresh start.”
“So, I think the timing is completely perfect to do everything. The good thing is that everybody’s aligned what we need to do and now it’s to win games, game by game try to win every game and the performance are really important as well.”
Now, United have announced that the players have returned to a new-look Carrington following the completion of their United States pre-season tour.

The club relayed in a statement, “While away in the States, the refurbishment of our Carrington training complex was completed and the players have now moved in.”
“The innovative new facility will officially open with a ribbon-cutting event on Friday.”
