Manchester United staff have reportedly been ordered to work from the office full-time from June 1, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe following through on a huge cultural overhaul.

'The key to achieving this goal [of a high-performance environment] is connection and collaboration. Everyone coming together as a collective to share skills, knowledge and ideas, building on the best of what we already do and looking at where we need to change and innovate,' an internal email sent to staff, not signed by Ratcliffe himself, read.
'We believe this connection and collaboration is best achieved when everyone works together in close proximity. Although hybrid working has some benefits, it cannot replace the value of people being physically together.
'With this in mind, we will be asking all colleagues who currently have hybrid working arrangements to return to the office permanently.'
Ratcliffe reportedly told workers: 'If you don't like it, please seek alternative employment.'
There are not enough desks to fit everyone in the London and Manchester offices as they were adapted for working from home numbers, according to the Athletic.
