The culinary venture was the legendary manager's first public appearance since United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe ruthlessly axed him from his £2.16million-per-year global ambassador role.
Sir Alex Ferguson enjoyed a night out with his former Man United kitman. It is the first time he has been snapped since Sir Jim Ratcliffe 'sacked' him. LISTEN NOW: Sir Alex Ferguson has been spotted publicly for the first time since losing his lucrative contract as an ambassador for Manchester United .
Decked in an all-grey suit, the ex-United boss was pictured leaving Cibo restaurant in Hale, a village southwest of Manchester. Ratcliffe informed Ferguson that he would be losing his role in a face-to-face meeting, bringing to an end his 38 years as a paid employee at United after this season. United deny that they have directly banned Ferguson from the changing room but say there is now a ‘collective understanding’ over who goes inside - and Mail Sport has reported that he has been barred from the inner sanctum in a change in post-match policy.
For the last 11-and-a-half years, Ferguson’s duties have included representing United all over the world, as well as match-day hospitality with the club’s partners and sponsors at Old Trafford, and appearing on promotional videos. The Scot has been a regular spectator at home and away games, apart the period after he suffered a life-threatening brain haemorrhage in 2018 and following the death of his wife, Lady Cathy, a year ago.
