While i'm sure a lot of the clubs don't pay the living wage to their staff the article itself is nonsense. For example the quote from the cleaner saying United should pay more seeing how they make so much money and is struggling to put food on his table isn't actually employed by the club. He's employed by a cleaning company that they outsource to, the club actually pays it's own staff the living wage. Yes you could argue that they should hire a different cleaning company but good luck finding one in Manchester that pays their staff the living wage.

Them mentioning that only 4 out of 20 clubs being accredited by the Living Wage Foundation is also meaningless as there is zero obligation to do so. The Living Wage Foundation isn't some legal obligation it's a private company who want you to pay them to give you a shiny certificate that has no more weight than if you printed it up yourself. Very few companies who pay the living wage have it.
