The move to prioritize the performance of the first team at Old Trafford is motivated by two major factors. Firstly, the new hierarchy aims to implement cost-cutting measures to make more funds available for Erik ten Hag to strengthen the squad.

Additionally, the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability (PSR) rules, which have gained significance over the past year, are a cause for concern and must be followed. As of June 30 last year, Manchester United had the highest staff count among all the top-flight clubs.

The decision to implement redundancies has been approved by the majority owners, the Glazers. Impacted individuals will be notified of the process, which is not voluntary.

Non-essential activities will be halted, and all departments are expected to undergo staff reductions. A new approach towards cup finals was announced by Ratcliffe, demonstrating a strong focus on financial considerations.

Previously, staff at Old Trafford were granted perks such as numerous tickets and funded trips to London for cup finals, as well as an after party. It is evident that there will be changes to these perks.

In addition, the community members are offered special offers, promotions, and adverts from the organization and its partners, with the option to leave the community if they wish. For more information, you can refer to our privacy notice.
