Manchester United have cancelled access to chauffeur-driven private cars for some members of their backroom staff, according to a new report.
Earlier this week, it was claimed that Ineos had cancelled some credit cards given to senior figures at the Red Devils, in a bid to cut spiralling costs, and bring the club closer to complying with Profit and Sustainability (PSR) rules.
Now it is thought that these restrictions have also changed the travel access provided to certain members of the team at Old Trafford.
The Times claim that some members of backroom staff at Man United will no longer get access to private cars being driven by chauffeurs, following a review into spending habits at the Premier League club iniated by new part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Consultancy firm Interpath Advisory is set to finish its review by the end of the football season, but its preliminary reports have found wasteful spending of money at Man United, and they have advised new part-owners Ineos on how to reduce costs moving forward.
Interpath will focus on business and operational costs at Manchester United, and will not be advising the club on which players should be sold, but any savings could be used to help support future transfer deals.
The club want to ensure they can comply with PSR rules, after last summer's £257,000 fine for breaching UEFA's regulations.
The Red Devils signed no new players in January due to PSR concerns, leaving Erik ten Hag with the same playing staff throughout the campaign, despite an ongoing injury crisis.
Ratcliffe's cost-cutting scheme is part of his hands-on approach at Old Trafford since his 27.7 per cent stake in the club was officially approved by the Premier League back in February.
Manchester United’s late defeat to Chelsea on Thursday night left them in sixth place, 11 points behind Aston Villa in fourth, and nine adrift of Tottenham in fifth.
Omar Berrada is set to start his role as club CEO this summer, while they are also looking to bring in Dan Ashworth as their new sporting director, if they can reach a compromise with Newcastle United over a compensation fee.
Southampton's Jason Wilcox could also be on his way to Old Trafford after United made a formal approach to make him their technical director.

So they save money by taking perks off employees and spend it on a consultancy business. Carry on Scuffy Jim you're playing a blinder.

Consultancy fees will far outweigh the cost of perks. The perks thing is about culture, a notice to all that their days of getting a free ride on the back of the club are over.
I’ve said before that Jim should not be underestimated; he didn‘t become UK’s richest businessman for nothing.

Ahh, yes, you see there is the mistake. People THINK they will win all their games. I see draws in many of their fixtures. But I don't know the results, do you?

So you base it being "out of our hands" on the assumption that Ars/Liv WILL win all their remaining games. Others state it being "in our hands" on the basis that Ars/Liv will draw at least one of those fixtures and we will all ours, hence "it still being in our hands" as long as we continue to win our games. Optimism over pessimism, which is exactly what was being aluded to.

It is not a "fact" that they will win every single game. It is an observation, an opinion. Why is the opinion that others truly feel Ars/Liv WILL slip up at some point and City capitalising on it, not at least given some semblance of respect, at least as an opinion?

"ooh it's out of our hands now!" We should just give up then should we?

As things stand the PL title is out of our hands.
For it to be back in our hands we need the 2 teams above us to drop points.
Of course it's not over 'til it's over and we need to keep the pressure on. Make them win it.
(There is also the possibility that City could drop points too.....)

Scruffy Jim has now cancelled all the company cars… He’ll be telling the players to bring their own packed lunches next.
