"Of Course It Has An Impact On Us" – Ten Hag Speaks After Man Utd Terminates Ferguson’s Contract

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has addressed the club's decision to terminate Sir Alex Ferguson's £2 million-a-year contract. This move marks a major shift for the club, as Ferguson has been an iconic figure at Manchester United, having won 38 trophies over his 26-year tenure.

The termination of Ferguson's contract means he will not be present for the upcoming match against Brentford at Old Trafford. This absence is notable as it is the first game since co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe informed Ferguson that this would be his last season serving as an ambassador for the club. Despite this change, Ferguson has prior engagements and his future presence at the club remains uncertain.

Erik ten Hag acknowledged the impact of this decision, stating, "Of course it has an impact on us. Sir Alex is Man United. He built United to where the club is now, and it impacts us." Ten Hag emphasized Ferguson's foundational role in shaping the club's identity and success.

However, he also noted that Ferguson supports the club's ongoing pursuit of victories and remains available for advice, indicating a continued albeit altered relationship with the club.
