Manchester United are to cut 250 jobs as part of a determination to slash costs and scrap some "non-essential" activities.

United director Sir Dave Brailsford has led a wide-ranging review of club operations since Ineos’ co-ownership of the club was confirmed in December.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe had already told staff of his desire for them to return to working from club premises.

However, club sources now say financially significant transformation is required to halt the rising costs year on year.
