Manchester United has reportedly asked Sir Alex Ferguson to refrain from entering the players’ dressing room, marking a significant shift in the club’s traditions that date back to the Sir Matt Busby era.
This decision comes amidst cost-cutting measures implemented by INEOS, the club’s part-owner, led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who aims to address the club’s financial losses
Ferguson’s ambassadorial role at the club, which included a £2 million contract, is also being phased out as part of these financial adjustments. Although the decision was described as amicable, it reflects a broader policy change regarding who is permitted in the dressing room, which has traditionally included former players and board members
Ferguson, who has been a central figure in the club’s history, will still retain his position as a non-executive director and is always welcome at Old Trafford
