Will Sir Alex Ferguson be at Man United vs Brentford after Old Trafford exit?

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Sir Alex Ferguson has stepped down from his role as ambassador at Manchester United - but that is not likely to stop him from being in attendance at Old Trafford this season.

Cost-cutting measures brought in by co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliff since his purchase of a minority stake in the club have seen two hundred and fifty members of staff being made redundant.

It was revealed this week that Ferguson’s ambassadorial role at the club has now been impacted. The legendary manager has been a club ambassador since retiring as manager in 2013.

In his first eight months, he earned £2.165 million from the role. Ferguson is understood to have been told of the decision during a meeting last Monday.
