A former England star has suggested that Manchester United's current crop of players should offer to pay Sir Alex Ferguson's salary following the club's decision to axe his lucrative ambassadorial contract.
Ferguson became a global club ambassador and club director after stepping down as manager in 2013 after a 27-year reign. He reportedly received £2.16million-a-year to serve as a global ambassador for the club in an agreement which has continued for over a decade.
But United's legendary manager, 82, has lost his contract following a face-to-face meeting between Ferguson and minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
