Ineos ends Sir Alex Ferguson's ambassador role at Manchester United as part of cost-cutting measures

Sir Alex Ferguson's role as an ambassador for Manchester United has ended, a decision made by Ineos as part of cost-cutting measures. Ferguson had earned over £2 million annually since 2013, primarily focusing on local engagements. Ferguson, who turns 83 in December, has not been involved in club operations since his managerial tenure ended. His influence has waned, especially with new ownership dynamics, although he remains a respected figure at Old Trafford. The decision to end his ambassadorial position reflects a shift in the club's financial strategy. Ferguson's legacy includes significant achievements as a manager, but recent recruitment strategies have faced criticism, particularly in his final years.
