May 11th Foreign media centredevils reported that since INEOS acquired a minority stake in Manchester United, the company has been working to cut spending. Layoffs are one of the well-known ways the club is trying to save costs. Manchester United fans strongly criticized Ineos due to these cost-cutting measures.

The arrival of Inelis once made fans believe that the team's current problems will be resolved, but the truth is exactly the opposite. The club's financial situation has deteriorated due to its failure to enter the Champions League this season, which has directly affected its revenue stream. They drastically increased the fare and fired Sir Ferguson as the club ambassador. However, the Red Devils recently entered the Europa League final on May 21, which may bring them a glimmer of hope.

If we can win the game, Manchester United will automatically qualify for the Champions League next season, which will be a major financial benefit for the club. Nevertheless, Ineos seems to stick to its cost-saving measures and continue to make more cuts. CentreDevils exclusively revealed that tickets for this year's Europa League final will not be issued to Manchester United employees, but will arrange for them to watch the game at a venue in Manchester and provide meal vouchers.

In the past, the club would allocate funds from the fees to provide tickets to employees. Sources said some employees were "disappointed" by this. The news comes after the latest round of layoffs. Earlier, the club announced that 200 employees would be fired, and the new layoffs were further increased on this basis. Manchester United employees are allegedly frustrated by the move. The staff behind the scenes are taking on the burden of years of squandering, some of which are still there even under the new management.
