Man Utd's longest-serving employee expected to depart in ruthless Jim Ratcliffe axe
Sir Jim Ratcliffe's cuts continue to take their toll at Manchester United with a member of staff at risk of leaving the Old Trafford club after 46 years in various roles Manchester United's longest-serving employee is expected to leave the club at the end of the season as Sir Jim Ratcliffe's cuts continue, it has been claimed. Marie Marron, who works for the club as a football administrator, has been associated with United for 46 years. Long-serving receptionist Kath Phipps had been with United for 55 years before her death in 2024, and is understood to be the only staff member to have spent longer at Old Trafford than Marron. United paid tribute to "one-woman institution" Phipps when she died aged 85, with former players also sharing messages. According to The Mail, Marron - who joined United in 1978 - is expected to leave at the end of the season. The publication claims as many as 200 staff members are in danger of being axed in the latest round of cuts under part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, and she is believed to be among those at risk - though no final decision has been made. The same publication describes Marron as a liaison point between United and a number of major footballing bodies, including the FA, FIFA and UEFA. Her role has included significant involvement in key moments for the club, including the 1999 Champions League final in Barcelona. Marron is understood to have been back in Spain this week for United's Europa League match away to Athletic Bilbao. United won that game by a 3-0 scoreline, leaving them well-placed to return to San Mames for the final on May 21. Ratcliffe's cuts since officially taking over in February 2024 have been substantial. Hundreds of staff members have gone, from senior staff including manager Erik ten Hag and sporting director Dan Ashworth right down to rank-and-file staff members. Director of football insights and innovations Richard Hawkins is among those reportedly informed of their departure in recent weeks, along with director of football operations David Harrison. Reports earlier this week suggested exit terms were being discussed for Harrison, who was among the more senior staff members at the club before Ratcliffe's arrival. Away from Old Trafford, Ratcliffe has also put French club OGC Nice up for sale. He is reportedly looking for £213million for the Ligue 1 side, who sit third in the table at the time of writing. "With Nice, in the French league, you can buy a club for £100million. It's much cheaper access," Ratcliffe told The Times earlier in the year. "But I don't particularly enjoy going to watch Nice because there are some good players but the level of football is not high enough for me to get excited. 'The best season that Nice has had is this one where we've not been allowed to get involved because of multi-club ownership rules. They've been so much better without our interference! Maybe there's a lesson there as well, you know." Join our new MAN UTD WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Manchester United content from Mirror Football.

Man Utd ‘axe longest-serving worker after 47 years' service' as part of 550 job losses in Ratcliffe's cost-cutting blitz
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MANCHESTER UNITED have axed their longest-serving worker after 47 years as part of the latest wave of job losses at the club, according to reports. The club announced in February that up to 200 MORE jobs would be lost as part of a further cost-cutting initiative started last summer, which saw 250 staff made redundant. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Man Utd are set to sack their longest-serving staff member Credit: Getty 2 It comes as part of the latest wave of job cuts announced in February Credit: PA A statement at the time said the cuts were to help "transform" the "corporate structure as part of a series of additional measures to improve the club's financial sustainability and enhance operational efficiency." However, the decision to make the club's longest-serving employee, Marie Marron, redundant has left staff "shaken" at Old Trafford and Carrington. According to The Times, Marron was told in a face-to-face meeting that a decision had been made to relieve her of her duties at the end of the season. It is a decision which is said to have left her "devastated", having worked for Man Utd since 1978. But she travelled ahead of the team, as she always has done, for their Europa League semi-final clash against Athletic Bilbao in Spain, which Ruben Amorim's side won 3-0. Marron originally started out as the personal assistant to the club secretary at the time, Ken Merrett. She eventually became a key figure with first-team logistics, acting as the club liaison to Uefa, the Premier League, the FA and opposing teams before matches. Marron was also the chief co-ordinator for United's historic Treble in 1999 and was one of five staff specially honoured by club sponsors in 2013 for "exceptional dedication and commitment" to the team.

An annual payment of £2million to legendary former manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, was also among the cuts made by the club. Ineos chairman and minority owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, claimed Man Utd would be facing bankruptcy without the cuts, which have also stretched to stripping back staff perks and canteen lunches. A fresh report from France earlier this week claims the British billionaire is willing to listen to offers for Ligue 1 outfit Nice, with Suadi Arabia's Public Investment Fund - who also own Newcastle - "seriously considering" an offer. SunSport understands that any potential cash raised from a sale of Nice would fall well short of that needed to fund a full Ineos takeover of Man Utd. The petrochemicals company now owns 28.94 per cent of the club after an injection of £79.3m last year, with the much-maligned Glazer family still owning the majority of the shares. With the team on the pitch bringing in the worst season in the club's Premier League history, United are facing a £100m blackhole if they fail to win the Europa League in Bilbao on May 21. Winning the competition will be worth £50m on its own through Champions League qualification and £25m in gate receipts for four home games in the league phase of the competition. There is also an additional £30m in bonus and prize money if they can reach the last 16, and a £10m bonus they will receive from kit sponsors, Adidas, which is taken away if they do not qualify for Europe's premier competition. Their likely opponents for the final currently look set to be Tottenham, who have a 3-1 advantage following a home win over Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt. The second legs of the Europa League clashes take place next Thursday, with Spurs travelling to Bodo's artificial pitch at the Aspmyra Stadion and United taking on Athletic Bilbao at Old Trafford. Fans have already been drawing up travel plans, but it will cost a small fortune for both accommodation and travel following a huge surge in demand and prices.
