Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has doubled down on his decision to axe around 200 more jobs at the club, insisting the cuts are essential to prevent financial collapse.
The billionaire businessman, who recently took control of football operations at Old Trafford, believes United’s bloated structure has become unsustainable.
“We have to make tough choices now to secure the future of this great club,” Ratcliffe reportedly told insiders.
His cost-cutting measures come as United struggles with mounting debts and underwhelming performances on and off the pitch.
Critics argue the move risks alienating staff and fans, but Ratcliffe remains firm, prioritizing long-term stability over short-term sentiment.
With United’s fortunes at stake, Ratcliffe’s gamble could either be a masterstroke—or spark further turmoil at Old Trafford.
