He can’t live without Manchester, and obviously, Manchester United cannot live without him. So, without too much fuss, the pair decided to get back together after a mutual separation 9 years ago. If you look at the cold facts, sir Alex Ferguson never left Old Trafford since resigning in 2013 and is in fact a non-executive director on their football board, but until now, it has been just a title, with no real significance. Former United’s CEO Ed Woodward was a loner during his time as a top executive, but his pal and successor Richard Arnold decided to do things differently.🔴 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋!

Neither Woodward nor former coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer asked Ferguson nor Gill for their opinion, which seems unreasonable, since Scot won 38 trophies during his 26-and-a-half years in charge at Manchester, while Gill was chief executive for 10 years. Gill is also UEFA’s executive committee and is also treasurer of European football’s governing body, as well as chairman of both the finance committee and compensation committee.🎙️ Sir Alex Ferguson: “If Cristiano had started his career in La Liga, he would have Messi’s numbers twice.” ✨ #CR7𓃵 #CristianoRonaldo #ManchesterUnited pic.twitter.com/kkKrCLfNSg— Manchester United News (@manunitedtotal) July 30, 2022 The five-man think-thank already had meetings at United’s training complex, with one of them being agreed some time ago, on the very day when Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly decided to show up at the training session. It was an unexpected opportunity for Ferguson to see one of his beloved players and it’s certain that if Arnold asks Fergie what stance should he take with the Portuguese forward, the answer will be to keep him at the club at all costs.Red alert at Old Trafford: Can’t sell Ronaldo, can’t buy AntonyMan United fans took it to social media to comment on the news, and they are actually divided between those who think it’s a great idea to bring back the man who last secured a Premier League win to those who think that United should look at the future, not the past. Time will tell.##NAJAVA_MECA_6537538##
