Chaos reigns in Manchester United. In a decision that will date in the history of the club, Mancunian leaders have taken a radical measure: the entire professional workforce is now on the market. A staggering announcement, revealed this Friday, which testifies to the state of crisis in which the English giant is located.
According to the revelations of the Mirror, Manchester United has chosen to open the door to all its executives, including Bruno Fernandes, his captain and face of the club for several seasons. Clearly, there is no element of the first team will be spared by the big household to come. The catastrophic results of the 2024-2025 season, coupled with the lack of European qualification, prompted managers to make this extreme decision.
Manchester United really touched the bottom.
By finishing in 16th place in the Premier League, United not only missed Europe, but also letting almost 100 million euros in revenue linked to a possible participation in the Champions League. Failure in the Europa League final against Tottenham definitively sealed the fate of the season. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, new co -owner, accompanied by Omar Berrada (CEO) and Jason Wilcox (Technical Director), will now pilot this XXL degreasing operation.
Manchester United: the whole workforce is for sale!
If this approach can be akin to a restructuring, it is also similar to a real confession of failure. The idea of seeing an institution like Manchester United propose all of its workforce for sale recalls how worrying the situation is. Even young hopes like Garnacho or Højlund are not immune. These are no longer a question of adjustments: it is a brutal reset, at the height of the crisis.
This strategic turn could certainly allow to rebuild on new bases, but it leaves many uncertainties. Which coach will accept to take charge such an unstable project? And above all, what image does the club send to its supporters and business partners? One thing is certain: Manchester United is entering a completely new era, where no name is untouchable.
