Manchester United legend Eric Cantona has come out in strong defense of Sir Alex Ferguson after INEOS, the club’s part-owners, terminated the former manager’s contract as a global ambassador.
Ferguson’s Contract Terminated
Sir Alex Ferguson’s multi-million-pound contract as Manchester United’s global ambassador was reportedly terminated this week by INEOS as part of a cost-cutting effort at the club. While Ferguson has “amicably” stepped down from the role, he will continue as a non-executive director at Old Trafford. However, the decision has drawn criticism from club legend Eric Cantona.
Cantona’s Strong Reaction
Cantona, known for his outspoken nature, did not hold back in his condemnation of the move. Defending Ferguson, Cantona expressed his anger, calling the decision “totally scandalous” and adding:
“I throw them all in a big bag of sh*t!”
The fiery reaction from the former United star highlights the frustration felt by many at the treatment of one of football’s most successful managers.
