In The Aftermath Of Losses In The Last 5 Years, 200 Manchester United Employees Have Been LAID Off
JAKARTA - The losses that have been experienced in the last five years by Manchester United have forced them to make efficiency for 200 of their employees. This efficiency decision was taken by the Red Devils in early 2025.
This information was announced directly by Manchester United through its official website on Monday, February 24, 2025, local time.
"Manchester United will change its corporate structure as part of a series of additional measures to increase the club's financial sustainability and increase operational efficiency," read the club's official statement quoted Tuesday, February 25, 2025.
The layoffs carried out on employees were carried out in line with the club's financial condition which continued to suffer losses.
During the last five years, Manchester United have been known to have suffered losses to their financial statements.

The decision to make this efficiency is the second wave that workers must accept. Previously, the Red Devils had also terminated the contract of 250 employees in 2024.
"This transformation plan aims to return the club to profitability after five consecutive years of losses since 2019."
"This will create a more solid financial platform where clubs can invest in the success of men's and women's football as well as better infrastructure."
"As part of these measures, the club anticipates that around 150-200 workers will be laid off, depending on the consultation process with employees."
"This will be an addition to 250 jobs that were removed last year," the official Manchester United statement continued.
Manchester United's achievements in the last five years have not been so special. This is considered to have an impact on sponsorship income and club bonuses.
In the last five years, Manchester United have only won one English League Cup (Carabao Cup) trophy and the FA Cup.
They had qualified for the Europa League finals in the 2020-2021 season, but Bruno Fernandes and his colleagues at that time lost to Villarreal in the final.
