Manchester United employ too many staff and should be cutting numbers wherever possible.
That is the view of incoming investor and INEOS chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is buying 25 percent of the club.
Per The Mail, United are said to have around 1112 employees, which is more than any other Premier League club.
Liverpool are the next closest with 900, while Tottenham and Manchester City have 750 and 720 respectively, while Arsenal are at exactly 700.
INEOS is a major company, but their sporting division has always been known for having a small headcount.
Ratcliffe may want to bring this lean strategy into the United structure to see if it can be successful.
