Manchester United are still aiming to have their new stadium built and ready to host the 2035 Women's World Cup final. "People read that as we might have the stadium ready for 2030. United sources had previously told BBC Sport the aim was to host the 2035 showpiece. That private message has now been repeated as Roche told MUTV: "Our plan is to be able to host other international sporting events and entertainment events. "Andy Burnham, the mayor, said his ambition would be for us to host the final for the Women's World Cup in 2035, so if we could pull that off, that would be incredible."
