Manchester United plc (NYSE: MANU) hat einen umfassenden Transformationsplan angekündigt, um die finanzielle Nachhaltigkeit zu verbessern und die Betriebsstruktur zu modernisieren. Der Verein möchte fünf aufeinanderfolgende Jahre mit Verlusten seit 2019 durch bedeutende organisatorische Veränderungen angehen. Der Plan umfasst mögliche Entlassungen von 150-200 Stellen, nachdem im vergangenen Jahr bereits 250 Stellen abgebaut wurden.
CEO Omar Berrada betonte die Notwendigkeit dieser Maßnahmen, um die Position des Vereins in den Männer-, Frauen- und Akademiemannschaften zu stärken. Die Transformation zielt darauf ab, eine schlankere und agilere Organisation zu schaffen, während ein erstklassiger Service für die Geschäftspartner aufrechterhalten wird. Die doppelten Prioritäten des Vereins sind der sportliche Erfolg und die Verbesserung der Einrichtungen, unterstützt von einer globalen Gemeinschaft von 1,1 Milliarden Fans und Anhängern.

The 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 from which the club can invest in men’s and women’s football success and improved infrastructure.
As part of these measures, the club anticipates that approximately 150-200 jobs may be made redundant, subject to a consultation process with employees. These would be in addition to the 250 roles removed last year.
Omar Berrada, Manchester United CEO, said: “We have a responsibility to put Manchester United in the strongest position to win across our men’s, women’s and academy teams. We are initiating a wide-ranging series of measures which will transform and renew the club. Unfortunately, this means announcing further potential redundancies and we deeply regret the impact on those affected colleagues. However, these hard choices are necessary to put the club back on a stable financial footing.
“We have lost money for the past five consecutive years. This cannot continue. Our two main priorities as a club are delivering success on the pitch for our fans and improving our facilities. We cannot invest in these objectives if we are continuously losing money.
“At the end of this process, we will have a more lean, agile and financially sustainable football club, while continuing to provide a world class service to our valuable commercial partners. We will then be in a much stronger position to invest in football success and improved facilities for fans, while remaining compliant with UEFA and Premier League regulations.”
