Manchester United will notify 200 employees of redundancies this week, with brutal cost-cutting measures accelerating after Wednesday's Europa League final defeat to Tottenham. The layoffs mark the latest fallout from a disastrous season that will cost the club over £150m in lost revenue.
  • Mass Layoffs: 200 staff across departments face redundancy, including long-serving employees like 47-year veteran Marie Marron
  • Financial Meltdown: Missed Champions League qualification and poor Premier League finish create £150m revenue shortfall
  • Scouting Slash: Global scouting network (currently 80) to be further reduced after previous downsizing
  • Ratcliffe's Ruthless Revamp: Co-owner warned club would've "run out of money" without drastic cuts
  • Human Cost: First-team logistics specialist Marron among those impacted after decades of service
Beyond the trophy drought, United's failures now carry real human consequences - a stark contrast to their Ferguson-era dominance.

Should football clubs prioritize financial stability over staff loyalty after poor seasons?
