Man United replace annual £100 Xmas staff bonus with £40 M&S voucher

The Christmas party has also been cancelled

Staff at Manchester United have seen their annual Christmas bonus of £100 replaced by a £40 voucher for Marks & Spencer.

The move is the latest part of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's radical cost-cutting at the club since he took control of football operations at Old Trafford on Christmas Eve last year.

In August, some 250 people at United were made redundant. This, along with other spending cuts, had apparently led many staff to assume they would not be getting any form of bonus this year.

When the Glazer family ran the club, staff received a bonus of £100 every year in the lead up to Christmas.

But this year, the bonus has been reduced to a £40 voucher at high street retailer M&S, the Daily Mail reports.

One member of staff told the publication that "it's worse now" than under the Glazers, whilst another said: "At least the Glazers prioritised families."
