EPL: 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! And I throw them all in a big bag of s***!”
