Manchester United will not reduce the budget of their disabled supporters’ Association, Mail -sport Understands.
In November we revealed how bosses were considering beating the £ 40,000 that they hand over in two in the midst of a series of cost -saving measures.
However, it can now be announced that they have now decided against what a very controversial step would have been.
After the arrival of co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos last January, Old Trafford officials launched a broad assessment that was aimed at identifying areas where savings could be made, whereby the club loses hundreds of millions despite record income. When Mail -sport Unveiled, 250 fired were activated as part of that process.
The £ 40,000 that was handed over to the Manchester United Disabled Supporters Association (MUDSA) was emphasized as a potential cut, because officials tried to free cash to be spent on improving the first team.
That money is spent on hosting events such as a Christmas party and a bowling day for the group, one of the oldest disabled supporters’ associations in the country. At the party, in which many of the star players of the club are present and signing signatures, has been an institution at United since 1989.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe wanted to save the costs at Man United and the reduction of the budget that was given to the disabled supporters’ association of the club was considered

Mail Sport understands that the budget of £ 40,000 charity will not be reduced after an assessment now

The controversial movement that is considered was not popular with fans, while Ruben Amorim’s side is also struggling on the field
Some of the funds are also spent on the annual Mudsa dinner, which is subsidized for tickets for an amount of £ 35 per person and caregiver. Denis Irwin was the guest speaker at the last event. Mudsa also works with the Manchester United Foundation, the Charity Arm of the club, to deliver community sporting events for people with mixed skills.
At the time, the revelation led to an important recoil with one insider branding of the prospect ‘nothing less than a shame’. “The numbers they are talking about are a drop in the ocean and the optics would be terrible,” they added.
‘It feels like the club has lost contact with his soul. The disabled supporters club has always been a large part of Manchester United and when you see how much money is wasted on paying out managers and bringing in players who are not good enough, something like that will be very difficult to justify. ‘
However, it is thought that, after revising the situation, officials have decided to make cuts on the budget. Mudsa members would be informed of the decision today.
Elsewhere, the decision to terminate the financing of £ 40,000 a year for a good cause for former United players is now confirmed.
