Manchester United risk staff upset by 'scrapping traditional perks ahead of next month's FA Cup final' as Sir Jim Ratcliffe continues Ineos' strict cost-cutting drive

Manchester United staff have reportedly been left disappointed by the removal of employee perks by new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe ahead of next month's FA Cup final, according to reports.

Since the British petrochemicals billionaire's £1.3billion purchase of a 25 per cent stake in the Premier League side was confirmed at the end of February, Ratcliffe's Ineos group has been carrying out a root-and-branch overhaul of the club's day-to-day running both on and off the pitch.

It is thought that Ratcliffe was alarmed upon discovering the extent of Manchester United's excessive spending habits, and Ineos has subsequently employed consultancy firm Interpath Advisory to oversee a review which is set to conclude at the end of the season.
