MANCHESTER, England — Manchester United wants to build the greatest stadium on earth. It wants to build the greatest soccer team as well. Something has got to give, surely? Ambitious plans for a 2 billion pounds, 100,000-seat stadium come at a time when United is already hundreds of millions of dollars in debt and undergoing brutal cost cutting measures. The situation is dire on the field as well. The record 20-time English champion is languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League, despite spending around $2 billion on players over the 12 years since it last won the title.
