Manchester United employees have been warned by the chief executive, Omar Berrada, that they are committing “gross misconduct” if they leak confidential information, with staff potentially losing their jobs if found guilty of doing so.

Berrada sent an email, which has been seen by the Guardian, to all staff on Monday and indicated the club has launched an investigation into leaks.



Berrada stated: “Anyone disclosing information outside of the club is breaching their obligations of confidentiality, and we are very clear that this will be considered gross misconduct. To protect the club and its colleagues, additional measures are being put in place to prevent future breaches of confidentiality and also identify any persons responsible.”

With morale low at the club, the Guardian has been told that the email has not been received positively by some employees who are concerned about losing their positions due to Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s decision to make up to another 200 redundancies.

Last week, the Guardian reported that United are to slash their scouting department, which currently has about 80 staff, and will have a meeting with all employees on Monday to clarify any questions about the state of the club.

Berrada referenced this in the email. He said: “In the meantime we will continue to keep you informed at the earliest opportunity of both the challenges we face and the steps we continue to take as we move the club forward and work towards Project 150 [a 21st title in 2028, the club’s 150th anniversary]. As mentioned in Redlines [a company email] on Friday we will hold a Team Briefing on Monday 24 February to talk to you further.”

Cheers JK 👍
 
With 80 in the scouting dept surely this is a prime example of more is less, how in God's name do you justify 80 scouts? They should all go with the dross they have been buying, on the other hand maybe they should hire more scouts.

Plans to build a 100,000 seat stadium?
Pretty ambitious for a mid table club. Media - as usual - wetting themselves over this. Anything to deflect from their poor position and shit football.🙄

I don’t get it at all. They’re broke. In massive debt.
Who’s going to pay for it? They talk about outside investment but who in their right mind would take the risk?

They want to become the Real Madrid of this country..... impossible to bankrupt because the banks would fail if they called in the loans.
 
I note that Kieran Maguire is gushing about this despite the club being a billion £ in debt. Not a doubt in him mind it appears......this is the same bloke who is permanently preaching destruction for City over the PL charges. 🤔 Guess we know where his loyalty lies ...
 
It’s being petty and mean-spirited but……………..
CONE ON REAL SOCIEDAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
That banner takes the biscuit for the ultimate for being petty and mean spirited. I will never forget or forgive them for that. It remains one of the main reasons I smile at every defeat or calamity they face.
