Manchester United will hold a meeting on 24 February with staff to discuss “media reports”, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s new round of up to 200 redundancies expected to be on the agenda.
Ratcliffe’s Mission 21 and Project 150 are plans for United to win a 21st league title by the club’s 150th anniversary in 2028.
Ruben Amorim has admitted Manchester United will have to sell players before they can strengthen in the summer window due to straitened finances.
On Friday evening, all employees received notice, via email, of the “team briefing”, which will take place at 2.30pm on Monday 24 February.
“We have a [budgetary] problem at the moment, but that cannot influence the way I coach the team and prepare the next game, so my focus is on that and not the other things.”.
