Jonny Evans: Manchester United cutting jobs has been hard to see

• The club’s formal redundancies process began last week
• Evans speaking after defeat by Arsenal in US tour game

Jonny Evans has stated that Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s decision to cut 250 Manchester United jobs has been difficult to witness as the club is like a family and people the defender knows personally are involved.

Last week Ratcliffe began the formal process of making the redundancies, informing some staff they were officially at risk, with those in this category who were due on United’s summer tour told that they would no longer be on the plane to the US.
