EPL: No one is safe – Rio Ferdinand reacts as Man Utd terminate Ferguson’s deal

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has reacted to the Premier League club’s decision to end the ambassadorial deal of legendary manager, Sir Alex Ferguson.

In a tweet on Tuesday, Ferdinand said “no one is safe” at Old Trafford.

He wrote: “If Sir Alex can be taken out, then NO ONE IS SAFE at @ManUtd – anyone can get it now. Ineos sending a message to ANYONE at the club?!?”

Ferguson will now step back from his current ambassadorial role at the end of the season.

The decision has been taken as part of a cost-cutting drive at United, since Sir Jim Ratcliffe bought a minority stake in February.

United have also finalised the redundancies of 250 members of staff, saving around £45 million in the process.
