MANCHESTER UNITED are set to axe up to 200 more staff in Sir Jim Ratcliffe's latest brutal cost-cutting move.
The British billionaire paid £1billion for 27.7 per cent of the club last year and has since gone to desperate measures to fix finances at Old Trafford.
The Sun understands that between 100-200 employees will be sacked in his latest bid to reduce costs.
All departments are at risk of seeing their numbers slashed.
A source exclusively told The Sun: "Ultimately, football is a business but there are hundreds of people who work tirelessly behind-the-scenes who contribute to any club's success.
"Morale is already on the floor after last year's job losses. This will come as another big blow."
It comes after Ratcliffe made 250 of the 1,150 workforce redundant in July.
Man Utd have lost £300million across the past three years and despite cash injected by the Ineos regime, the long-term picture remains "challenging".
Ratcliffe is determined to bring the glory days back to the club and is willing to transform things on and off the pitch.
Man Utd are exploring every option to save money and increase revenue.
The new owners have already controversially raised ticket prices, got rid of Sir Alex Ferguson from his ambassador role and cancelled the staff Christmas party.
All while there has been little to cheer on the pitch, with the team languishing in 13th in the table.
Manager Ruben Amorim even admitted relegation was a "possibility" earlier this season and called his side the "worst in United history".
