It comes as part of a wider corporate restructuring under part-owners INEOS.
This follows last year’s job cuts, where 250 staff were let go, sparking backlash.
United say the latest redundancies are aimed at improving financial sustainability.
The club has recorded financial losses for five consecutive years.

Head coach Ruben Amorim admitted the playing staff must take some blame.
He suggested better performances would make the club more profitable.

Instead, employees will be provided with fruit as a cost-cutting measure.
The new ownership, in place for 14 months, has made several unpopular decisions.
