Sir Alex Ferguson arrives at Champions League final with Gary Neville as £2m-a-year Man Utd role comes to an end
Legendary ex-boss hoping for more exciting watch than Red Devils' Europa league loss FERGIE FINALE Sir Alex Ferguson arrives at Champions League final with Gary Neville as £2m-a-year Man Utd role comes to an end Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SIR ALEX FERGUSON is preparing for a new chapter in his life - by watching Paris Saint-Germain attempt to write the greatest one in their history. The legendary ex-Manchester United boss arrived at Bayern Munich with Gary Neville as PSG bid to finally win the Champions League. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Sir Alex Ferguson and Gary Neville are in Munich for the final Credit: Getty The French giants are taking on Inter Milan, just as 83-year-old Fergie bows out of his special role as United's global ambassador. So far it's not been the final flourish the Red Devils' most famous ever manager would have liked. He was in Bilbao to see United's 1-0 loss to Tottenham in the Europa League showpiece on May 21. And tat's after he lost his £2million-a-year position at Old Trafford - as part of huge cost-cutting from United's minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. However, it certainly wasn't personal as Ratcliffe and his company unveiled nearly 500 redundancies in all. Meanwhile, there's also major investment planned for the future - most notably for a new £2billion 100,000-seat stadium. Ferguson's glittering 26 years in charge contrasts with everything that has followed since his managerial retirement in 2013. Fergie guided United to 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League crowns.

Now the ex-England defender, 50, is a TV pundit - while it's unclear if Fergie will have another direct job in football. At least the duo beat traffic mayhem to arrive at the final in good time. It follows chaos at a Munich station caused by fighting between rival groups of fans.

"Since I was a child, football wasn't just a dream, it was my only chance to change my life. "Life took me far, from the favela to the world.

Until one day, everything collapsed. Join SUN CLUB for the Man Utd Files every Thursday plus in-depth coverage and exclusives from Old Trafford "From heaven to hell.
