WHAT HAPPENED?
According to The Athletic, the INEOS chief asked the club's non-playing staff to come back to the office during a meeting on Wednesday, as he looks to end the work-from-home culture at United. The diktat reportedly receives mixed reviews as a section of the employees were excited to see things shaking up at Old Trafford while the other side will now have to make changes in their work-life balance.

The working-from-home culture came into practice at the club post the COVID-19 outbreak like any other organisations across the world, however, it is understood that Ratcliffe wants to bring the Red Devils in line with his company's policy of bringing back employees to the offices.
DID YOU KNOW?
The Athletic also reports that one major problem that INEOS might face in bringing back all non-playing employees to the office is the lack of desk spaces in their Manchester and London units. Post the pandemic, the office spaces were rearranged to suit the more flexible working culture.
