Manchester United must reduce to 200 additional works, since part of a strategy that, according to them, will transform the club into a thinner operation.
After making 250 employees result in last summer, United confirmed on Monday that there would be more labor reductions between 150 and 200 employees. The club is also expected to reduce its presence in London and move a staff from Old Trafford to his Carrington training field.
The cuts go beyond only staff. Food options for Carrington employees are expected (excluding players) to reduce soup and bread, according to reports, while the canteen of employees in Old Trafford will be completely closed.
The announcement occurs only a few days after the one -year anniversary of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, ensuring a minority participation in the club. Since then, Petrochemicals’ billionaire has embarked on high -range attempts to reduce costs in the club, whose most recent initiative is said to be the end of free lunches for all personnel other than the first team.
Last week, United announced its income for the second quarter of the financial year 2024-25 with profits that submerge from $ 296.1 million 12 months ago to $ 260.6 million, a reflection of the team failure to qualify for the Champions League the season the season pass. The results of the most recent full year of the club revealed a loss of $ 142.9 million in revenues of $ 835.2 million.

“We have the responsibility to put Manchester United in the strongest position to win in our teams of men, women and academies,” said executive president Omar Berrada. “We are starting a wide series of measures that will transform and renew the club.
“Unfortunately, this means announcing more potential dismissals and we deeply regret the impact on those affected colleagues. However, these difficult decisions are necessary to put the club again on a stable financial base.”
According to its most recent year account, United had 1,140 employees. Among other Premier League clubs, Liverpool reported 1.008 at the end of the 2022-23 season, Arsenal 840 in 2023-24 and Manchester City 611.
“We have lost money during the last five consecutive years,” Berrada added. “This cannot continue. Our two main priorities as club are providing success in the field for our fans and improving our facilities. We cannot invest in these goals if we are losing money continuously.”
