Manchester United’s restructuring under Sir Jim Ratcliffe is continuing at full pace as the club looks to cut costs and create a more sustainable financial model.
With tight financial constraints and concerns over Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), United have been forced to rethink their long-term spending strategy.
The club’s January transfer window was quiet, with no major attacking reinforcements arriving, as United shifted focus toward a major summer rebuild instead.

However, to fund future signings, the club must first reduce operational expenses, with redundancies and cost-cutting measures already affecting several departments.
A new stadium project is also in the works, with Ratcliffe considering a complete redevelopment of Old Trafford, which would require significant financial backing.
Balancing these ambitions while ensuring the team remains competitive on the pitch has led to difficult decisions behind the scenes, and more cuts are expected.
With United needing to increase revenue streams and streamline operations, the club is making adjustments in areas that were previously untouched.
Now, the latest department facing sweeping changes is United’s scouting network, which has been a key part of the club’s recruitment strategy for years.

United’s department of around 80 scouts is now expected to face significant cuts as part of Ratcliffe’s next round of up to 200 redundancies, according to The Observer.
The club’s scouting structure, which has long been responsible for identifying talent across multiple markets, is being reduced as part of the ongoing financial overhaul.
Meanwhile, Christopher Vivell, who was recently appointed in a temporary role, is now expected to take over as United’s permanent recruitment director.
The move signals a shift in how United will approach player identification and recruitment moving forward, with a more data-driven and efficient process likely to be implemented.
With major changes continuing behind the scenes, United’s recruitment strategy could look very different in the coming years under Ratcliffe’s leadership.
