Sir Jim Ratcliffe plans to close the staff canteen at Old Trafford while replacing free lunch options with fruit. This change will also be applied at Carrington, the club's training base, where only players will continue receiving free lunch. The cost-cutting strategy is part of Ratcliffe's effort to streamline operations at Manchester United, which has faced significant financial losses. Employees will now only have access to soup and bread, with further restructures, including job redundancies, anticipated as the club aims to regain competitive status after losing £300 million over the past three years.
The decisions by Ratcliffe are his latest cost-cutting moves as the billionaire owner of Ineos seeks to make United a leaner operation that can again compete at elite level.
Employees gain entry via a pass that allows free hot meals and tea and coffee, with some soft drinks needing to be paid for.
