Manchester United consider cutting funding for disabled supporters' association

Nov 16,2024

Manchester United are looking at the funding they provide to their disabled supporters' association as part of a wider analysis into costs at the club.

Jim Ratcliffe has targeted savings since become minority owner at the start of a year that saw the Premier League club post net losses of £113.2m for the 12 months ending 30 June, 2024.

Around 250 members of staff have left Old Trafford as part of those cost-cutting measures and club great Alex Ferguson will leave his ambassadorial position at the end of the season.

It's understood United are continuing to analyse the club's outgoings in a bid to stem losses, including looking at what they give their disabled supporters' association.

The Daily Mail has reported that the £40,000-a-year given to MUDSA is among the spending lines being looked at and could be halved.

United did not comment on the matter when contacted and MUDSA have yet to respond to a request for comment.
