Unpopular choice: Manchester United has terminated its partnership with Sir Alex Ferguson.

The new co-owners of Manchester United from INEOS are continuing their cost-cutting measures, and a recent decision is expected to frustrate the club’s supporters.

According to The Athletic, Manchester United has officially terminated its partnership with the club’s most successful manager, Sir Alex Ferguson.

In recent years, the Scottish icon has acted as a global ambassador for the club, with his contract reportedly earning him several million pounds. However, Manchester United has chosen to eliminate this expense.

Ferguson managed the Red Devils from 1986 to 2013, guiding the team to 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League victories.
