Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Radcliffe has asked neighbours Man City for their Wi-Fi password as the huge cost-cutting programme at Old Trafford continues.
It follows the announcement the club will axe 200 more jobs and replace free lunches for remaining staff with fruit.
United’s hierarchy feel they could save another few quid by hopping on City’s Wi-Fi for the remainder of the season. 
United Chief Executive Omar Berrada told Paddy Power News: “We are initiating a wide-ranging series of measures to transform and renew the club.
“Those staff members who haven’t been made redundant will be served a piece of half-eaten fruit from Sir Jim’s office waste bin at lunchtime.
“Toilet roll in the staff water cubicles will be replaced by newspaper and first team players must carpool to away games.
“The heated seats in the Old Trafford dugout have been turned off and coaching staff – including Ruben Amorim – have been advised to wear thermal underwear until the weather improves.
The money saving measures continue at Man Utd…

“Finally, we’ve asked our good friends at Man City if they could supply us with their Wi-Fi password. We’re willing to split the bill. But, only if they ask.

As news of United’s staff having their lunches taken away reached Birmingham, on-loan United forward Marcus Rashford was spotted outside Carrington handing out free meals.
“Some of these guys are eating plums for lunch, so the club can pay myself and Antony half a million quid a week to play for other teams. It’s the least I can do,” Rashford told us.
Meanwhile, INEOS have denied claims they tampered with Old Trafford’s electricity supply in order to cut matchday costs.
“These accusations are completely unfounded,” said Berrada while directing the delivery of a huge ACME magnet into the Old Trafford car park.
