March 11 (UPI) -- Manchester United will leave Old Trafford after playing for more than 115 years at the site in favor of a new 100,000-seat facility in the same area in Stretford, England, the storied soccer franchise announced Tuesday.

The Red Devils said they planned to build the new facility "next to the existing site," but did not immediately respond to a question about whether or not they plan to demolish Old Trafford.
