SportEPL: You lack respect – Eric Cantona slams Man Utd for terminating Alex Ferguson’s contract
Manchester United legend Eric Cantona has hit out at the club for their decision to terminate legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson’s contract as a club ambassador.
Ferguson was Man United’s manager for 26 years at Old Trafford.
The 82-year-old won 38 trophies during his time with the Red Devils before his retirement in 2013.
Ferguson was kept on at Man United as a global ambassador, for which he was paid £2 million a year, as well as a club director.
However, as part of INEOS’ cost-cutting measures at Man United, the Premier League club have now terminated Ferguson’s ambassador deal, with payments due to end next year.
Reacting to the development on Instagram, Cantona posted a picture of himself alongside Ferguson with the caption: “Sir Alex Ferguson should be able to do anything he wants at the club until the day he dies.
Such a lack of respect. It’s totally scandalous. Sir Alex Ferguson will be my boss forever!
Former Manchester United star, Gary Neville has singled out one of the club’s transfer which he believe shouldn’t have happened.
Neville in a recent statement said that the Red Devils should never have sold Danny Welbeck.
The Red Devils legend noted that Welbeck as of now is in a better form than all of Man United’s attackers.
Recall that Welbeck during his time at Old Trafford made 142 appearances for the Red Devils after going through the club’s academy.
The English forward was a part of the last Man United team to win the Premier League title under legendary coach Sir Alex Ferguson.
Welbeck, however, chose to leave Man United in 2014 after growing frustrated with his limited game time.
He went on to sign a deal with Arsenal worth £16 million.
According to Neville, Welbeck is in better form than any of Man United front players, by far.
Neville on Skysport’s Stick To Football while speaking with former teammate Roy Keane said Welbeck, to be fair, should never have been allowed go at United.
Meanwhile, the Red Devils will be back to action next weekend after the two weeks international break.
They will hope to return with a win against Brentford.
