After lunch on Monday, Manchester United’s embattled staff will sit down and brace themselves for the latest round of savage job cuts by Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Some will be there in person at Old Trafford to hear the bad news. Others will dial in remotely at 2.30pm to find out how Ineos plan to achieve their ‘core objective to help United win again, which requires transformation on and off the pitch’, according to an email sent to employees.
Up to another 200 jobs are at risk which would mean that more than a third of the workforce has been culled since Ineos took over football operations a year ago.
