Last March, Manchester United appointed a corporate restructuring firm, Interpath Advisory, as Jim Ratcliffe looked to reorganise the business after he became a minority owner.

According to a report in the Telegraph, “Interpath Advisory have been tasked with examining all areas of United’s business with a view to driving greater efficiency and determining where savings can be made”.
