Man Utd have told staff that up to 250 people are set to be made redundant as part of sweeping cuts, the PA news agency understands.
British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe completed his purchase of a 27.7 per cent stake in the Premier League club for £1.25billion in February.
Ineos took charge of football operations as part of the agreement and commissioned a cost review as they moved to shake things up behind the scenes as well as on the field.
PA understands staff were told at a meeting on Wednesday that around 250 of the circa 1,100-strong workforce will be part of the club-wide redundancy programme.
The club believe a restructuring is needed, especially in an era of new financial regulations, and feel the staffing level does not reflect their current performance level on the field.
All departments and levels are affected apart from the Manchester United Foundation.

The move to cut nearly a quarter of staff has been met by understandable anger and anxiety by employees.
This is the biggest among a number of changes since Ratcliffe’s arrival at Old Trafford.
