Around 250 employees were made redundant last year and a statement on the United website on Monday announced that a plan aimed at “return(ing) the club to profitability” following five successive years of losses means “approximately 150-200 jobs may be made redundant”, subject to a consultation process.
United CEO Omar Berrada said: “We have a responsibility to put Manchester United in the strongest position to win across our men’s, women’s and academy teams.
Manchester United expect up to 200 further redundancies as part of a “transformation plan” to improve the club’s financial sustainability.
“At the end of this process, we will have a more lean, agile and financially sustainable football club, while continuing to provide a world-class service to our valuable commercial partners.
However, these hard choices are necessary to put the club back on a stable financial footing.
