Leaked email reveals Manchester United staff facing termination for disclosing information

The FA Cup win masked several issues on the field, ultimately leading to Erik ten Hag being let go and replaced by Ruben Amorim.

The Red Devils have seen little improvement since then, currently sit 15th in the Premier League and seem to be embroiled in a off the pitch issue every other week.

Manchester United staff threatened with sacking over leaked information in an email that was leaked

Manchester United fans have voiced frustration over match tickets costing £66, with banners appearing at recent games in protest.

Ratcliffe has also already made over 250 redundancies to staff, with reports he is planning more not denied by the club.

A report from The Telegraph now states that staff have been threatened with sacking if they leak information, with sensitive information as well as team news often finding it's way into the public's hands.

The irony of this is it has come from a leaked email that was sent to staff suggesting that revealing club information to outside sources will be viewed as 'gross misconduct', something that could get people sacked.

Staff were also reportedly informed additional measures are being created to stop information leaking out before any announcements are due.

As per The Telegraph the email from Omar Berrada, Manchester United's chief executive officer, said: "Anyone disclosing information outside of the club is breaching their obligations of confidentiality, and we are very clear that this will be considered gross misconduct.

"To protect the club and its colleagues, additional measures are being put in place to prevent future breaches of confidentiality and also identify any persons responsible."

In FourFourTwo's opinion, it's another PR nightmare in what has been a tough few months for Manchester United.

Amorim's side take on Everton this weekend, with a win for the Toffees meaning that David Moyes would have picked up more points in his first six Premier League games than Amorim has in 15 in charge of Manchester United.
