According to local media in the UK, Manchester United has launched a second round of layoffs of club staff on Friday local time, and it is reported that the affected Manchester United Football Club may have as many as 200 employees.

Sir Ratcliff has adopted a plan to reduce staff since joining Manchester United, and has laid off some employees of Manchester United Football Club earlier. According to media reports, after losing to Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United's second round of layoffs have begun. Some employees have received notifications that they will lose their current jobs. They will not notify employees until they lose the UEFA Cup final to ensure that the preparations for the UEFA Cup final are not affected. It is expected that the sports science, medical and information departments will be affected.

Manchester United's league performance this season is sluggish, and coupled with the loss of the UEFA Champions League qualification for the next season, Manchester United's internal morale has fallen to a low point. Now, with the club's further layoffs, morale may be lower. However, according to people familiar with the matter, Manchester United Football Club's layoff plans have never changed, and employees in affected departments have long known that they may lose their existing jobs.

Before the first round of layoffs last year, Manchester United had about 1,100 employees, and then Manchester United's first round of layoffs exceeded 250, saving about £8 million to £10 million in expenditures. In the second round of layoffs, the layoffs of Manchester United Football Club will be between 150 and 200.
