Up to 200 jobs are set to go – after about 250 employees were made redundant last year.
Via BBC Sport:
Manchester United have told some staff working at their Carrington training ground that they will lose their jobs in the second round of redundancies since Sir Jim Ratcliffe bought into the club last year.
Club insiders say the actual process, which could lead to 200 staff losing their jobs, has been ongoing for a number of weeks, with most staff already aware if they are to remain at the club or not.
However, BBC Sport has been told some staff connected to the first team were not informed of their fate until Friday so that preparations for Wednesday’s Europa League final against Tottenham were not disrupted.
It is anticipated that the sports science, medical and scouting departments will be among the areas that could be affected, with up to 200 jobs set to go.
Now the game is out of the way, staff in the affected areas are being informed. Sources claim those staff had early been told their positions would be clarified at a later date.
