Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has faced criticism on several fronts, since his INEOS took control of football operations.
One line of criticism is prompted due to several rounds of sackings in the last year.
Around 500 members have reportedly been made redundant, as part of efforts to reduce costs amid gaping debts.

One method of further reducing overheads has seen United refuse to offer Manchester United staff tickets to the Europa League final, as exclusively revealed by CentreDevils.
Head coach Ruben Amorim has reportedly offered to foot the bill instead.
And Ratcliffe has attracted further criticism by failing to attend Manchester United Women’s FA Cup final, despite attending the men’s team’s fixture against Chelsea in the capital on Friday night.

Ratcliffe also reportedly was unaware of the identity of Manchester United Women’s captain, asking Katie Zelem, captain at the time, what she did at the club.
Manchester United, despite losing the final to Chelsea Women, have enjoyed a positive season, acquiring Champions League football for next season after finishing third.
In comparison, the men’s team currently sit 16th in the Premier League, despite the ownership’s increased attention.
Recently sacked sporting director, Dan Ashworth, was thought to be a positive force for the women’s team before the decision to let him go.
A decision that left those in the women’s team’s set-up “deflated”, according to MailOnline.
After a positive season, head coach Marc Skinner will hope the season’s success will prompt more attention from the Manchester United ownership.
