Legendary Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has been banned from the team’s dressing room.
According to Mail Sport, the board has also been asked to stay away from the dressing room at Old Trafford.
It breaks a long tradition that dates back to the days of Sir Matt Busby.
Earlier on Tuesday, it emerged that Ferguson’s multi-million pound ambassadorial role has been scrapped by United’s new part owner INEOS, as part of a wide-ranging cost-cutting programme.
In another controversial move Ferguson, who is the most successful manager in the club’s history, will no longer enter the inner sanctum after games, as part of a change in policy.
United insist they have directly banned Ferguson from the changing room. They claim there is now a “collective understanding” over who goes inside.
