BREAKING: Manchester United Consider Further Staff Cuts Amid Financial Crisis

Date:

Manchester United are reportedly considering another round of staff redundancies as part of ongoing cost-cutting measures under new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

The club already laid off 250 employees last summer, and according to multiple reports, another 100 jobs could be at risk. However, United insist that no final decision has been made.

 

Financial Struggles and Cost-Cutting Measures

Sources within the club revealed that Manchester United are dealing with a “challenging long-term financial picture,” having reported losses of £300 million over the past three years.

In response, several cost-cutting measures have been introduced, including:

  • Ending Sir Alex Ferguson’s ambassadorial role
  • Potential ticket price increases, which have already sparked backlash from supporters
  • A review of staffing levels across the club

In January, United wrote to fan groups explaining the need for these difficult decisions, citing the need to comply with Premier League Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) and UEFA Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.

 

Fan Reactions and Ticket Price Controversy

The club has already faced fierce criticism for increasing match ticket prices to £66, with many fans expressing frustration over rising costs amid the team’s inconsistent performances on the pitch.

United’s leadership maintains that these financial measures are necessary to ensure long-term stability, but supporters remain concerned about the impact on the club’s heritage and operations.

What’s Next?

While Manchester United have yet to finalize decisions on further job cuts, Ratcliffe and his team are expected to continue implementing financial restructuring plans aimed at reducing losses and stabilizing the club’s finances.
