[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, even the youth training coaches at Manchester United are facing layoffs, which has left them dissatisfied. Reports state that as the club seeks to cut costs, employees of the youth academy have been shocked, upset, and some even angry. The club had previously appointed a consultancy in March to conduct an audit of all operations, including labor costs. Many non-football staff are preparing themselves for possible redundancy, but this hasn’t alleviated the unease and disappointment felt by many. Within the youth academy, long-serving coaches who have played a crucial role in developing young talents are devastated by the news of their potential job loss. Some coaches who are on the verge of losing their jobs were completely unaware of such a turn of events when they went to work this week. Stuart Leicester and Neil Harris, two highly respected coaches with at least 20 years of experience at Manchester United, are among those affected. The news has deeply affected the staff and football circles.
