Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos are planning to make more than 100 further redundancies at Manchester United, understands Mail Sport.
Last year we revealed how officials were planning to dismiss 250 employees a quarter of the staff and part of a wide range of cost-saving measures at Old Trafford.
And it can now be announced that further pain is on the road in the form of more job losses. No figure is specified, but insiders expect more than 100 but less than 200.
The last cutbacks are supplied with the review. United had 1,112 employees before Ratcliffe took a quarter interest in the club early last year, which was by far the largest in the Premier League and was considerably higher than the rest of the Big Six. For example, Manchester City employed 520 in the same period.
The move is aimed at freeing cash for Ruben Amorim to spend on the first team, while they want to bring the club back to its former glory. Despite record income, United has lost £ 300 million in the last three years.
The perception is that the field costs on and out of the field remain high. Ratcliffe has injected around £ 241 million, which helps with the development of Carrington, but there are fundamental issues within Old Trafford that need to be tackled.
The club is also considering moving to a new stadium with 100,000 capacity or to perform a large-scale renovation of Old Trafford-and will have to find the money to do this.
The staff is not supposed to be aware of the latest proposals. The news is expected to be formally broken to them at a certain point in the near future. It is thought that no definitive numbers have been decided.
All areas of the company are aimed at possible savings. The aim is to make the company slimmer and to ensure that all focus is on offering Amorim of the funds needed to strengthen.
Compliance with United of the Premier League profit and sustainability rules (PSR) is also at the forefront of thinking.
United is contacted for comment.
