Manchester United have reportedly warned staff that they could be sacked if they leak information.
United have come under significant scrutiny since Sir Jim Ratcliffe became part-owner last year, with several cost-cutting measures having been implemented.
Mail Sport exclusively revealed earlier this month how Ratcliffe is planning to make more than 100 staff redundant which comes after the club culled around 250 staff last year - and several other money-saving actions have taken place.
This included cancelling free coach travel for staff to last year's FA Cup final, cutting back on ambassadorial salaries, increasing ticket prices, while Ratcliffe also decided to bring to an end Sir Alex Ferguson's £2million-a-year role with the club.
