Man Utd have announced a redundancy programme that will see around a quarter of all club staff lose their jobs as part of a series of cost-cutting measures.
Manchester United are making 250 staff redundant after a cost-cutting review found that the employee count and the structure of the club wasn't being reflected in performance.
United insist they need 'significant transformation' to meet new financial regulations and challenges, with costs continuing to rise every year. According to the club's latest accounts, United had 1,112 employees on the monthly payroll, which is an increase of 129 in two years. That is the highest employee count in the Premier League.
He also told staff they must return to the offices at Old Trafford or Carrington in a bid to end a work-from-home culture but the decision to part ways with so many staff is driven by attempts to become financially leaner.
