Man Utd Staff Boo Owners Over Job Cuts, Loss

Manchester United staff reportedly booed co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Avram Glazer during a staff screening of the Europa League final at Manchester's Diecast venue, reflecting mounting frustration over job cuts and cost-saving policies. The event was arranged after Ratcliffe declined to provide staff with free tickets to the final in Bilbao, where United lost 1-0 to Tottenham and missed out on European football for the following season. Ratcliffe's leadership has resulted in approximately 450 redundancies in two major rounds, with further cuts expected, and even club legends losing their ambassador roles. CEO Omar Berrada has linked future staff reductions to the club's European qualification status, increasing employee anxieties about job security. The defeat is expected to cause a significant financial shortfall for the club. Manager Ruben Amorim personally paid for backroom staff to attend the final, highlighting internal tensions over Ratcliffe's cost-cutting.
