Sir Jim Ratcliffe's radical cost-cutting at Old Trafford continues and withdrawing small perks has shattered staff morale.

It’s been a year since one of Britain’s richest men bought into its most famous soccer team and vowed to bring the good times back.

Since Sir Jim Ratcliffe took control of Manchester United last year, he has needed few excuses to make some brutal decisions.

Manchester United are to cut up to 200 further jobs as part of a strategy they claim will transform the club into a more lean operation. Having made 250 staff redundant last summer, United confirmed on Monday that there would be further job reductions of between 150 and 200 employees.

Every week more depressing news emanates from Old Trafford. Last week we learnt of the club’s dire financial state, then news follows of further job losses and cuts to the staff canteen. That’s before we discuss the performances which see United languishing 15th in the table.

The billionaire talked up his Manchester links after purchasing the club, but has alienated fans and employees as well as making some big mistakes

Sir Jim Ratcliffe considers eliminating 200 more corporate positions as vital for preventing Manchester United from going bankrupt. The club has accumulated £300 million losses during the previous three years prompting Jim Ratcliffe to take prompt action for financial recovery.
