The phrase coming out of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Manchester United is that there’s a “culture of fear” within the club because so many people are afraid for their jobs.
This is a stark contrast to Ratcliffe’s own comments in February 2024 about creating “a positive, supportive, friendly and high-quality environment”. In the new culture of fear, Omar Berrada’s recent email warned staff that they could lose their jobs if they leak information, when many were already afraid, as underwhelming performances on the pitch continue under head coach Ruben Amorim.
