Grotesque indeed.

Odd that the first comment on your article is yourself agreeing with your own article.

Filthy rag baastaards. I pay my cleaner more than double that.

Disgusting but their wages to turnover ratio is the lowest in the Premier league so all is ok.

I was agreeing with the content of the article.

If I disagreed with it, I would have also commented.

You are allowed.

“Permanent staff are paid the voluntary living wage”

Most of the match day, and cleanup operation staff will be on casual contracts. Sneaky response from the club there.

Yet their fans keep banging on about working conditions in Dubai for some reason.

The horseshït nearer to home is stinking the place out.

If true then, I can’t possibly try and defend it. It’s not right.

However, what are other clubs paying there staff? Before we jump on high horses I bet it’s pretty similar.

City are just about to renegotiate contracts so even contracted staff are paid at least the NLW. Liverpool are expected to complete a similar deal this summer.

I know West Ham already do and there’s a few more too

I should imagine that's being covered by the tax payer like the stadium.

Yeah would need comparissons with other clubs for the same jobs before I pass judgement.

That's why companies love Zero Hours Contracts, they can pay legally people peanuts.

Being honest your clubs owners have probably made money off the back of paying some poor sods in the middle east in rocks and vegetables.

It’s taken these super rich clubs this long to pay national wage? Whilst the burn cash through their fingers? It’s not right.

Can’t take the high horse on this after stating that. Our greedy clubs are as bad as each other.

Chelsea and Everton too.

To be fair it’s not just clubs though. How we can live in a country with a stated national living wage, yet the current minimum wage is beneath that is beyond belief.

Whilst your owners are paying Mexican Immigrants $50 p/h to mop out their shopping malls?

Comparing brutal regimes where rights for women don’t even exist to driving a car to paying minimum wages is desperate stuff even by city standards.
Problem with minimum wage rules is that for many organisations they then become maximum pay,United included.

The amount Manchester United have brought into the local economy is colossal,thousands kept employed and many businesses seeing great returns due to the clubs massive worldwide appeal.
Sand and oil sales remain stable in the UAE.

Which regimes are you referring too?

Oh and don’t forget united cheat the British public out of much needed tax revenue just like the other soulless big companies that people like to complain about Apple Amazon man united.

Bit out of order concidering they love telling people they are the richest in the world and all that.

Total contempt demonstrated.

More money goes to Florida than Stretford and no offence have you seen the regeneration of East Manchester thanks to citys owners.

Trafford is still an absolute sheyit hole.

Have you seen it recently, ffs united even tried to stop the metrolink being extended past the ground to the Trafford centre because it might effect Match day’s.

Forget the locals that need better transport links, United are more important than those small people.

What a club 👍

What's it in comparison to other clubs? Hard to make a judgement without knowing the facts. When I heard it on the radio yesterday it was a freelance steward complaining partly because he didn't get positioned with a view of the pitch at games.

Considering that the UAE actually imports sand, you continue to make yourself out to be a clown shoe of the highest order.
