Manchester United are to cut up to 200 further jobs as part of a strategy they claim will transform the club into a more lean operation. Having made 250 staff redundant last summer, United confirmed on Monday that there would be further job reductions of between 150 and 200 employees.

Manchester United have confirmed that they are set to make a further 150 to 200 redundancies as part of wider cost-cutting measures under Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s stewardship at Old Trafford. As revealed by The Athletic earlier this month, United will embark on another round of job cuts following 250 redundancies during the summer.

Manchester United says it expects to make up to a further 200 jobs redundant as part of cost-cutting measures after five straight years of losses.
