Man United chiefs are 'sick of hearing' about Sir Alex Ferguson's glory days while some bigwigs 'blame' legendary manager for recent woes with his £2m-a-year deal brutally cut

Members of the INEOS group in charge of Manchester United are said to be sick of hearing about how things were done in Sir Alex Ferguson's day.

Legendary manager Ferguson, 83, was in charge at Old Trafford for 26 years until 2013 and oversaw the most successful period in the club's history as he delivered 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League titles.

The Scot later returned to United as a global ambassador until that £2.16million-a-year job was terminated in October last year as part of a cost-cutting campaign by INEOS chief executive Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
