Manchester United today told staff that the club is intending to cut 250 jobs as new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe continues his bid to slash costs at Old Trafford.
Interim chief executive Jean-Claude Blanc informed staff on Wednesday lunchtime that the club intends to make a wave of redundancies, with new co-owner INEOS pursuing a series of cost-cutting measures recommended by consultancy firm Interpath Advisory, who have been hired to review the club’s business and operational outgoings.
The Athletic understands the aim is to make the cuts before the start of the season.
All department...
All department and levels within the club will be impacted and the club says it will not include staff at their charitable arm, the Manchester United Foundation.
At 1,112 as of June 30 last year, United had by far the biggest staff of any club in the Premier League. That number is considerably higher than all of their Big Six rivals, with Liverpool having around 1,005 employees, Chelsea 788, Tottenham 719, Arsenal 649 and Manchester City 520, according to each club’s latest figures.
