Manchester United's latest round of redundancies has sparked concerns over the club's future. The 13-time Premier League winners are set to axe another 150-200 staff jobs before the end of the season.

What's behind the redundancies?

The cost-cutting measures are part of INEOS boss Sir Jim Ratcliffe's plan to clean up the mess left by the Glazers. The US family has taken dividends from the club, estimated to be around £160 million since their takeover in 2005.

Impact on the club

The redundancies and austerity plans have raised questions about the club's future. Manchester United are currently 3rd in the Premier League, with 71 points from 38 games, and a recent form of WWDWW. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 3rd | | Points | 71 | | Recent form | WWDWW | | Goals scored | 69 | | Goals conceded | 50 | | Goal difference | +19 |

What comes next?

The handling of Erik ten Hag and Dan Ashworth's exits has cost the club a staggering £14.5m. Player recruitment has also been a major issue, with Antony, Jadon Sancho, Casemiro, and Joshua Zirkzee failing to deliver on their promises. As of 26 Jun 2026, Manchester United's next fixture is vs AC Milan at home on 2026-08-15. The club's recent form, including a 4-game winning run, will be put to the test in the upcoming match.
