Legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been barred from the team’s dressing room.
According to Mail Sport, the club’s board members have also been instructed to avoid the Old Trafford dressing room, ending a long-standing tradition that dates back to Sir Matt Busby’s era.
It was revealed earlier this week that Ferguson’s multi-million pound ambassadorial role has been discontinued by United’s new part-owner, INEOS, as part of a broader cost-cutting initiative.
In another significant policy shift, Ferguson, the club’s most successful manager, will no longer be allowed into the team’s dressing room after matches.
United clarified that while Ferguson hasn’t been directly banned, there is now a “collective understanding” regarding who is permitted inside.
