48 hours after the failure in the Europa League final, Man United have informed all their staff about the risk of being fired.
Since taking over the team, INEOS Group, headed by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has implemented a cost-cutting policy.
About 200 of the team's staff will lose their jobs and this cut will be among those plans.
Man United staff received this information via internal email.
Before the announcement, about 24 hours after the final match in Bilbao, many employees were given a barbecue by the team in Carrington.
These are the people in the group to support the team to Spain to play in the final match.
It is expected that therapists in the medical team will be in the first cut group. In fact, this group may have had to leave Old Trafford earlier.
However, Man United's leadership did not want to disrupt the situation when the team was close to the door of the Europa League final.
It is expected that the fired employees will be officially informed about their future as soon as the Premier League this season ends on Sunday (May 5).
The team wants to reorganize the team before going to Malaysia for a summer tour with the match against the ASEAN All-Star. The Southeast Asian Star Team will be captained by Mr. Kim Sang-sik, along with many stars of the Vietnam team will participate.
After the group of therapists, the pathological group is the target for further reduction. Head of scouting Steve Brown, director of football David Harrison and creative director Richard Hawkins are also expected to say goodbye after the match against Aston Villa in round 38 of the Premier League.
Last summer, Man United cut 250 personnel after Sir Jim took office not long ago.
They will cut about 200 personnel after the failure in the Europa League, moving towards streamlining the club's operating apparatus to about 50% of the personnel when Ed Woodward was still in charge.
Man United is considered to have a very cumbersome squad. The personnel report in June 2023 showed that they have a total of 1,112 employees receiving monthly salaries.
A few months ago, INEOS cut the free lunch for employees, causing a strong wave of protests within the team. It is expected that after this cut, the current diet of employees still working will also be changed to a more economical direction.
With the failure in the Europa League final and not being able to participate in the European Cup next season, Man United immediately suffered a deficit of about 80 million pounds due to reduced revenue from home matches, sponsors cutting down on percentage due to poor performance,... With such a financial situation, INEOS cannot help but take strong action if they do not want Man United to fall into a state of being unable to save it any longer.
