Scholes, Cantona Criticize Man United Over Ferguson

Paul Scholes and Eric Cantona have criticized Manchester United's decision to terminate Sir Alex Ferguson's ambassadorial contract, deeming it 'disrespectful' and 'distasteful'. This decision, made by new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe as part of cost-cutting measures, has sparked backlash from fans and former players due to Ferguson's monumental contributions to the club, including 38 trophies. Despite this, Jose Mourinho emphasized that Ferguson still holds the love and respect of United fans, which is more valuable than any role or financial compensation. Mourinho, who now manages Fenerbahce, reflected positively on his relationship with Ferguson, underscoring that the respect he commands outweighs the loss of the ambassadorial position. Meanwhile, Manchester United continues to face challenges on the field under Erik ten Hag, underscored by a recent draw against Fenerbahce in the Europa League.
