Club sources have told PA there was no acrimony over this matter, with Ratcliffe having met Ferguson face to face to say the club could no longer sustain the ambassador payments. The Athletic reported Ferguson was listed as having received £2.16million for his ambassador duties in United’s 2014 accounts.
Ferguson always remains welcome at Old Trafford, United sources said, and he will remain a non-executive director of the football club board.
