Manchester United has revealed plans to lay off up to 200 more employees as part of ongoing efforts to reduce costs.
Last season, the club let go of around 250 workers during an initial round of job cuts. Now, just days after marking one year since Sir Jim Ratcliffe became co-owner, United has announced further redundancies. This time, between 150 and 200 staff members will be affected.
"We have a responsibility to put Manchester United in the strongest position to win across our men's, women's and academy teams," CEO Omar Berrada said in a statement released on Monday. "We are initiating a wide-ranging series of measures which will transform and renew the club.
"Unfortunately, this means announcing further potential redundancies and we deeply regret the impact on those affected colleagues. However, these hard choices are necessary to put the club back on a stable financial footing."
According to ESPN sources, Manchester United staff will learn between April and June whether they will lose their jobs due to the latest round of cuts.
The club has reported losses of over £300 million ($379 million) in the past three years.
Last week, United released their latest financial report, revealing that revenue for the last three months of 2024 had fallen to £198.7 million, compared to £225.8 million during the same period in 2023.
"We have lost money for the past five consecutive years," Berrada added."This cannot continue. Our two main priorities as a club are delivering success on the pitch for our fans and improving our facilities. We cannot invest in these objectives if we are continuously losing money."
In addition to further redundancies, United are planning to move some staff from offices at Old Trafford to their Carrington training ground. There will also be a "reduced presence" at their London office in Mayfair.
In a staff meeting on Monday, staff were also informed that free lunches at Old Trafford will come to an end. A source has told ESPN that bosses expect the move to save the club more than £1m every year.
Sources added to ESPN that the club will focus its charitable donations on the Manchester United Foundation (MUF) and Manchester United Disabled Supporters' Association, with conversations ongoing with the MUF over the value of the contributions.
