'Damaging to the club' - Man Utd staff sent warning email over leaking information about Sir Jim Ratcliffe's brutal cuts | The Scottish Sun
MANCHESTER UNITED have warned their staff that leaking information about Ineos' cuts is "damaging to colleagues and the wider club".
On Friday, senior officials at the Red Devils sent an email about a "team briefing" which will be held on February 24 to discuss how the club is planning to reduce costs.

In the past three years, United have lost a staggering £300million in revenue.
That has led to Sir Jim Ratcliffe's new regime cutting hundreds of jobs.
Last summer, 250 jobs were cut as the club moved to save cash.
A further 100 plus workers were set to be made redundant this month, SunSport revealed this week.
An email, seen by The Telegraph, revealed how disappointed the club were to see information leaked in the media.
A statement said: “Any leaks, whether accidental or intended, can be damaging to colleagues and the wider club."
According to the report, Manchester United have not commented about the email.
However, it is believed that staff were told the reason for change is to help the club get back to winning ways, "which requires transformation on and off the pitch".
The changes will become more evident a week on Monday, when the meeting takes place.

Ratcliffe has already started refurbing the club's Carrington training ground.
He has invested £241million to help the club since taking over just over a year go.
Despite that, there is still a feeling that they face a "challenging" time financially in the future.
Ratcliffe signed off on last summer's axing of 250 staff members, but insiders say that costs remain too high on and off the pitch.
Club staff have been warned that Man Utd have to "explore every option", from reducing costs to raising revenues.
The Telegraph's report adds that no final decisions have been on the proposed job cuts this month.
