Manchester United today told staff that the club is intending to cut 250 jobs as new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe continues his bid to slash costs at Old Trafford.
All department and levels within the club will be impacted and the club says it will not include staff at their charitable arm, the Manchester United Foundation.

Because it is a policy change, it would have been shared across the leaders of the football club but it was not something that needed board approval to be implemented.
