Sir Alex Ferguson has left Manchester United, whereas Erik ten Hag stays.

Adam Crafton has exclusively revealed that Sir Alex Ferguson’s £2 million a year Manchester United ambassadorial contract has been ended by the club.

So, why have INEOS taken this decision and with Erik ten Hag back at work after the international break - does this mean the owners have also taken a decision on the manager?
