It might be an easier sell to fans to have any sponsor’s name linked to that rather than the current ground.
Qualcomm’s chief marketing officer Don McGuire said: “Old Trafford is Old Trafford, it should always be Old Trafford.
“But if there is a brand attached to that in some way, shape or form, powered by someone, an “at” or whatever.
“We are working very closely with the team on the re-imagination of Old Trafford from a technology and innovation standpoint and Carrington.
“So if that leads to something bigger, where it would make sense for us to go even bigger… if it makes sense we are always looking out for opportunities.”
What we know about the 'new' Old Trafford
MANCHESTER UNITED plan to build a new stadium rather than redevelop Old Trafford.
The decision was made after a number of fact-finding missions to other stadiums including the Bernabeu and Nou Camp.
The cost of the project is expected to be a staggering £2billion.
A capacity of 100,000 is expected.
It is felt that a club of United’s standing should have a new state-of-the-art facility.
The new stadium will be built on land adjacent to the Red Devils’ current home.
United are looking to not only build a stadium but regenerate the area of Trafford where the ground will stand.
The club consulted with 30,000 fans about what to do and believe there is roughly a 50-50 split on staying or moving.
