Legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is reportedly set to step down from his ambassador role with the club at the end of the 2024-25 English Premier League season amid cost-cutting measures.

According to ESPN's Rob Dawson, Manchester United have been looking for ways to cut costs ever since Sir Jim Ratcliffe purchased a minority stake in the club in February. Dawson reported in July that Manchester United had deemed a quarter of their workforce redundant, putting them in position to save £45 million ($58.8 million) by paring down their staff.
