The legendary Scot has been working as a global ambassador for United since leaving his managerial role 11 years ago. However, he will stop receiving his lucrative salary beyond the end of the current season as part of Sir Jim Ratcliffeโs cost-cutting efforts.
It has since emerged that Ferguson will no longer be allowed to enter the inner sanctum following matches. According to the Daily Mail, he has been asked to stay away from the United dressing room as part of a change in policy.
United have reportedly denied that Ferguson has been directly banned from the changing room, but there is now said to be a โcollective understandingโ over who is allowed inside.
It marks the end of a long-standing tradition at United, with dressing room visits having been part of the clubโs culture for decades. In the past, the likes of David Gill, Mike Edelson and Sir Bobby Charlton were always welcome to go in and speak to players.
Ferguson was reportedly informed of the changes in a face-to-face meeting with Ratcliffe, who also informed him that United were no longer in a position to commit to his annual salary. He is expected to remain an executive director at Old TraffordโฆCLICK HERE TO READ MORE ARTICLES>>>
