In the medium term, another island platform should be constructed with direct northern/southern entrances as well, but at the moment, a southern entrance/exit to the existing Northern Line platform (perhaps with a CCTV monitored gateline to avoid a drastic increase in staffing costs) would make sense.
Think that’s more like (very) long term!

I think I read here at some point that Merseytravel (or whatever convoluted name the successor organisation is called) has plans to start rebuilding before HS2 arrives.

Manchester Victoria? There's no direct access to Trinity Way that I'm aware of (maybe when there are events on?) so it's quite a walk round. Admittedly there appears not much on that side of the station anyway, other than Strangeways and part of the university, but there's a large hotel and think there's a Travelodge nearby which could use a northern entrance.
You used to be able to walk all the way through, but since the bombing it’s arena ticket holders only

Same for car park users who now also have to walk all the way around
