Zarah ChoudharyManchester United plc has announced further job redundancies as part of its ongoing efforts to improve financial sustainability and operational efficiency.
The club anticipates that approximately 150 to 200 jobs may be made redundant, subject to a consultation process with employees.
These cuts follow the removal of 250 roles last year.
Alongside these workforce reductions, the club is set to transform its corporate structure in a bid to return to profitability after five consecutive years of financial losses since 2019.
The restructuring aims to create a more stable financial platform, enabling greater investment in both men’s and women’s football, as well as infrastructure improvements.
Omar Berrada, CEO at Manchester United, said: “We have a responsibility to put Manchester United in the strongest position to win across our men’s, women’s and academy teams.
“We are initiating a wide-ranging series of measures which will transform and renew the club.
“Unfortunately, this means announcing further potential redundancies and we deeply regret the impact on those affected colleagues.
“However, these hard choices are necessary to put the club back on a stable financial footing.
“We have lost money for the past five consecutive years. This cannot continue.
“Our two main priorities as a club are delivering success on the pitch for our fans and improving our facilities.
“We cannot invest in these objectives if we are continuously losing money.
“At the end of this process, we will have a more lean, agile and financially sustainable football club, while continuing to provide a world class service to our valuable commercial partners.
“We will then be in a much stronger position to invest in football success and improved facilities for fans, while remaining compliant with UEFA and Premier League regulations.”
