Ruben Amorim admits he feels some responsibility for Manchester United’s latest round of redundancies amid their ongoing struggles on the pitch. United announced on Monday that they expect up to 200 employees to lose their jobs as part of a plan to improve the club’s financial stability.

Amorim said the latest staff redundancies "have a lot to do with the lack of success of the football team" because it has resulted in a loss of earnings. He described it as "a difficult period inside the club and on the pitch" but, as "the engine" of the club, the responsibility lies with them - the team.

Ruben Amorim admits everyone at Manchester United is being affected by INEOS’ continued cost-cutting measures. United announced on Monday a new “transformation plan” including a further 150 to 200 redundancies on top of previously announced job cuts designed to stem a steady stream of losses off the pitch.
