Christmas Eve marked one year of Ineos' involvement in Manchester United.

That is when United agreed to allow Sir Jim Ratcliffe's petrochemicals company to acquire around a quarter of the club. Two months later, they officially completed the £1.25billion deal and Ratcliffe became a co-owner. Much has changed at Old Trafford over the last year.

Ruben Amorim has replaced Erik ten Hag—but not before the club extended the latter's contract. Ruud van Nistelrooy has also come and gone, with Dan Ashworth barely lasting any longer after just about getting one whole transfer window as United's inaugural sporting director.

Those are merely the most high-profile staff members to depart; hundreds more have moved on. Here is a round-up of those cutbacks.

April: FA Cup final cuts

United staff had to pay for their travel to last season's FA Cup final after the club had previously covered it. According to The Times, they emailed their employees to tell them they would have to contribute £20 toward coach travel, or half that if they were only going one way, with deductions coming from their next month's wages.

Staff still received complimentary match tickets for Wembley Stadium, but nothing more. Directors and senior figures could no longer bring friends and family along with them, and the club no longer included traditional perks such as hotel accommodation in the capital, a pre-match lunch, and a post-game party.

Earlier in the month, some United administrative staff lost access to chauffeur-driven private cars, and corporate credit cards used by department heads were also cancelled.

May: Remote work removed

Ratcliffe reputedly told employees to seek "alternative employment" if they were unwilling to work from the club's premises during an all-staff meeting in May. United's flexible work-from-home policy ended, and the new expectation was that they would become office-based again for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to The Guardian, Ratcliffe remarked, "If you don't like it, please seek alternative employment." At the time, reports claimed insufficient space to implement the change at their offices in London and Manchester. Staff on flexible contracts that did not outline a requirement to work from the club's offices also posed a problem.

July: 250 redundancies

United announced a redundancy programme this summer that saw around a quarter of the club's staff lose their jobs across all departments. They reputedly found out they were being made redundant via email.

Ineos' cost-cutting review claimed that the club's employee count—which exceeded 1,000 and was the highest in the Premier League—and structure did not reflect its performance. United said there needed to be 'significant transformation', citing the need to meet new financial regulations and challenges, with costs continuing to rise yearly.

Ineos identified savings in addition to stopping activities described as "non-essential." However, no one from the club's foundation lost their jobs.

August: Matchday lunches changed

At the start of the season, reports emerged about changes to what matchday staff receive at Old Trafford, with areas identified for savings. According to the Mail, agency staff no longer receive a lunchbox full of food; instead, they eat food supplied to corporate supporters to reduce food waste.

Complaints about having to eat in a toilet were also addressed at the time. United clarified that the toilet was a staff area with an adjoining bathroom and shower room, acknowledging there was a separate room to eat in.

The number of programmes handed out in private boxes has also halved from one each to one between two, again said to minimise wastage. However, the report did highlight that extra copies were available upon request.

October: Sir Alex Ferguson stepping down

Ferguson will step down as club ambassador at the end of this season after 12 years. United sources stressed the decision was amicable, insisting the club's long-time manager would remain welcome at Old Trafford.

Ratcliffe is said to have asked Ferguson to step down during a meeting at Old Trafford. After agreeing to invest in United, the billionaire appeared alongside the legendary figure in January when attending the club's stadium for the first time since.

Ferguson assumed the role after retiring from football in 2013. He earned £2.165million during his first eight months as a United ambassador.

November: Concessions cut

United decided mid-season to raise matchday ticket prices to £66 per game and remove concessionary pricing for children or senior citizens. The club claimed only a small number of fans would be impacted, with the changes only applying to 3% of unsold tickets. Resale prices are also affected, though.

Tickets were placed on open sale in the first game following the change against Nottingham Forest despite Premier League matches previously almost always exceeding demand. The £66 price also applies across all sections of the stadium.

Ratcliffe justified the change to the United We Stand fanzine as wanting to "optimise ticketing". He also said: "I don't think it makes sense for a Manchester United ticket to cost less than a ticket to see Fulham."

European away ticket collections have also been scrapped this season. However, the club have committed to making a business case to restore them.

December: Foundation funding plans

Funding for the Manchester United Foundation will reportedly be slashed from next year onwards, stopping funding for events and fundraising schemes. Those schemes include Street Reds for children aged 8 to 18.

Sky News revealed the club's plans to notify the trustees of its charitable arm about the changes. United is said to have contributed around £1million over the last year. One source close to the club said: "Significant support for the Foundation will continue."

United are said to have paid the foundation nearly £175,000 for charity services in 2021. The Red Devils also provided free gifts amounting to £665,000 last year.
