Man United youth coaches and players were reportedly left in tears amid job cuts to the club's academy, a new report has claimed.

Earlier this week, the club announced plans to make up to 200 more redundancies, with staff expected to learn their fate in April.

The redundancies follows 250 job cuts made last year under minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos.

According to The Sun, the initial wave of cuts included a number of coaches in the club's academy set-up.

The report claims respected academy coaches had been informed their jobs were at risk in July, ahead of welcoming back young players ahead of this season.
