Manchester United has begun notifying staff about potential layoffs as part of a second round of redundancies since Sir Jim Ratcliffe's minority stake acquisition. Job losses could affect around 200 positions, particularly in the sports science, medical, and scouting departments. The cutbacks follow a disappointing Europa League final defeat, leading to low morale among employees. Previously, 250 jobs were eliminated, saving the club an estimated £8m to £10m. The club is facing a £100m financial gap after not qualifying for European football next season, prompting further cost-cutting initiatives since Ratcliffe’s involvement.
Staff at Manchester United have been informed about impending job losses in the club’s second round of redundancies, with up to 200 positions at risk.
The decision not to inform anyone connected to the first team was made to avoid disrupting preparations for the Europa League final.
After the first round of redundancies saved the club between £8m and £10m, around 150 to 200 more staff are expected to be let go, affecting morale.
With the latest defeat meaning no European football next season, the club faces a significant £100m financial gap, prompting cost-cutting measures.
