Sir Jim Ratcliffe's revolution at Old Trafford has been well underway since he acquired a 27.7% stake in the club last Christmas Eve for £1.25bn. His intention was to take Manchester United back to the top of English football, both on and off the pitch. He also aimed to make the club profitable.
Ratcliffe's leadership team has undergone significant changes, with over 450 redundancies already executed as part of a seismic shift in the club's structure. Senior management positions have been largely rewritten, and United's data operation has seen a complete overhaul.
One area that Ratcliffe has focused on is the club's training ground. The £50m upgrade has made it one of the best facilities in European football, but sources indicate that there are still plans to make up to 200 more staff redundant. Despite these changes, the focus remains on achieving long-term success rather than just focusing on immediate goals.
The Glazer family remain active and engaged owners of Manchester United, but their attention is now centered around Ratcliffe's leadership team as they strive to turn the club into a consistent top-four finisher in the Premier League and European competition winner.

! I've got the tea on Man Utd 
! Sir Jim Ratcliffe's plans are gonna change the game! 
He's all about revamping the squad and getting those goals consistent, not just relying on past glories 
. And yeah, I know the staff cuts aren't ideal, but he's trying to create a sustainable future for the club 
. Don't @ me when we start seeing trophies in the next few years 
! The Glazer fam might be there too, but Ratcliffe's the one calling the shots now 
. Can't wait to see what happens next! 
, I mean I know it's still one of the best training grounds in Europe now, but what about all those staff who got let go? I feel bad for them, they must have been good people 
. It just seems like Ratcliffe wants Manchester United to be a big brand and make money, not just win trophies anymore 
. And what's with the 200 more people getting fired? Is that really necessary? 
it feels so wrong when you think about all the people who will be affected by this change at the training ground i hope they find a way to minimize the impact on the people who are going to lose their jobs 
but idk how that's gonna happen since there are already 450 ppl let go 
maybe they'll be able to finally win that europa league title 
. And what's with all these changes? One minute it's this, the next it's that. Can't they just make up their minds already? 
I'm so done with the state of football right now. First, you've got Glazer family milking the club for all it's worth and then some new billionaire comes in and shakes things up even more. 450 redundancies? Are they kidding me? 
It's all about the Benjamins, right? Manchester United used to be about the love of the game, not just lining someone's pockets. 
But 450 redundancies? That's some serious restructuring 
The changes he's making are huge, not just financially but also structurally - 450 redundancies? That's a big deal! 
As long as they keep working towards those top-four finishes and European wins, I'm all in! 
. Investing £50m in the training ground is huge, and if that means having to make some tough decisions along the way, so be it 
.
. Fingers crossed for the future! 
! I'm not saying Sir Jim Ratcliffe isn't trying to do the right thing, but £1.25bn just for 27.7% of the club? That's some serious dough... almost as crazy as a £50m upgrade for the training ground 
. Still, if it means Manchester United becomes consistent winners, I'm all for it. Just hope they don't make me buy a new set of jerseys every season 
! I mean, who else would drop a billion quid on Manchester United just to "take them back to the top"? 
. And yeah, I know it sounds harsh, but like 450 redundancies ain't no joke... still, if it means we're gonna see a serious resurgence at Old Trafford, I'm ALL IN 
The fact that the Glazers are still involved but seem to be letting Ratcliffe handle the day-to-day is a good sign, maybe they're finally willing to let someone else take the reins. Fingers crossed he can deliver on his promises! 
He's investing big time in the training ground 
, but 200 more staff going? 
! The Glazers are being super supportive 
, and now they're all about backing the new leadership 
. Bring on the top-four finishes and European wins 
...i dont get why u need that many staff changes... cant he just work with the people he got
