Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has stated that the club’s decision to terminate Sir Alex Ferguson’s £2million-a-year contract will have repercussions.
Ferguson will be absent from Saturday’s match against Brentford at Old Trafford, as it was recently conveyed to him by co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe that this season will be his final one as an ambassador for United.
Despite having a prior commitment, there is uncertainty surrounding how frequently the 82-year-old will visit the club where he achieved immense success, winning 38 trophies during his 26-year tenure.
Ten Hag, speaking on the club’s decision, said: “Of course it has an impact on us.
“Sir Alex is Man United. He built United to where the club is now, and it impacts us.
“But on the other side, we know and Sir Alex knows, that is what he wants. He wants to see a winning Manchester United and I’m sure he’s always available for advice.”
