Manchester United seeks to cut costs after £86 million in managerial dismissals

Manchester United has made significant changes under minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, aiming to cut costs after years of financial strain. This includes laying off 250 staff and removing certain perks for club officials. The recent dismissal of manager Erik ten Hag and his staff cost the club £11.4 million, with an additional £10 million needed to hire his replacement, Ruben Amorim. Over the past decade, the club has spent £86.2 million on managerial and executive dismissals. Ratcliffe's strategy reflects a shift from previous management practices, focusing on stability rather than frequent changes. Amorim is now tasked with improving the team's performance while managing a tighter budget.
