Manchester United will make up to 200 jobs redundant to “return the club to profitability”.

About 250 members of staff were made redundant last year in a first wave of cost-cutting measures by co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

In a meeting with staff on Monday, United chief executive Omar Berrada informed employees that there would be a fresh round of redundancies as part of a “transformation plan”.

A club statement read: “The transformation plan aims to return the club to profitability after five consecutive years of losses since 2019.”
