Rio Ferdinand Warns Manchester United Staff After Sir Alex Ferguson’s Dismissal
Manchester, UK – October 16, 2024
Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has expressed concern over the club’s decision to remove Sir Alex Ferguson as global ambassador. The move, made by part-owner Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS group, aims to reduce expenses.
Ferguson, who managed Manchester United for 27 years, held the ambassador role since his 2013 retirement. Ferdinand, who played under Ferguson for 11 years, tweeted:
“If Sir Alex can be taken out, then NO ONE IS SAFE at @ManUtd – anyone can get it now. INEOS sending a message to ANYONE at the club?!?”
Ferdinand’s statement implies that the decision sets a precedent, putting all staff on notice. This development follows Ratcliffe’s acquisition of a 25% stake in Manchester United.
The move has sparked controversy, with fans and pundits questioning the decision to remove a legendary figure like Ferguson.
