Manchester United plans drastic personnel reduction: 200 positions at risk!
The English Premier League club Manchester United is faced with another drastic cut: In a press conference held on Monday, the management has announced that due to the ongoing financial problems, between 150 and 200 jobs must be reduced. Managing Director Omar Berrada said that the main goals of the association are to achieve sporting successes for fans and to improve the facilities. But this is only possible if the continuous losses are stopped. "We cannot invest in these goals if we constantly lose money," said Berrada. The measure is part of a transformation plan that aims to make the association slimmer and financially more sustainable, while the obligations towards UEFA and Premier League are still fulfilled. Over 250 jobs have already been dismantled in the past, and the future of the club has remained uncertain in view of the financial descent since 2019
The situation of Manchester United particularly affects fans in Germany, which are organized as part of the official supporter club "United Devils". This was founded in 2007 from a merger of the two largest fan clubs in Germany to meet the new requirements of Manchester United. As an official fan club, you secure a ticket division for all Premier League home games, depending on the number of members in July. This could lead to restrictions in the coming season, as the supporters from Germany already fear, since the club may no longer be able to make some games as strong in sales if the financial difficulties remain. The "United Devils" are in constant exchange about the developments around Manchester United and offer fans a platform to discuss and exchange ideas during the games, which underlines loyalty and support for the traditional club, as is described in detail on the fan club website.
