<p><a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/02/20/special-report-sir-jim-ratcliffe-ripped-the-heart-man-utd/" target="_blank"><em>The Telegraph</em></a><em> </em>claims that 'angry, disillusioned and fearful' United employees have been tasked with individually counting cartons of screws to ensure they are not over-ordering, while Sellotape has been returned because it was not considered a 'necessity'.</p>
