Many of those affected have been with the club for a long time and are well-liked. The current situation has left morale at an all-time low within the team.

This is not the first time the club has undergone significant job cuts. Last year, Manchester United let go of 250 staff members at Old Trafford.

The recent loss in the Europa League final and the failure to qualify for the Champions League has led to a significant financial impact on the club. The share price has taken a hit, losing £160m, and the team will also lose £100m in revenue due to missing out on the Champions League next season.
