Man United legend Dwight Yorke has criticized Sir Jim Ratcliffe for the dismissal of Sir Alex Ferguson as the club ambassador.
The club’s co-owner Ratcliffe, made the shocking decision to fire the club legend as part of a cost-cutting measure. Fergie, who won 38 titles in a remarkable 26-year career as manager, will step down as an ambassador at the end of this season.
Former United star Yorke believes Ratcliffe and his colleagues should have handled the matter far better. Yorke called Fergie a ‘god’ and believes he deserves far more respect.
According to Daily Star, the 52 year old said in an interview: “Like everybody else, I was a little bit surprised at the fact that they’ve gone down that road.
“I think they could have been a little bit more subtle with it, and communicated it in a much better way.

“Sir Alex isn’t getting any younger, he’s an 82-year-old man, but he’s a total god at Manchester United and someone that has done wonders with our football club.
“They could have said, ‘we’re going to reduce your role, your pay package might be a bit less, because we want you to do less.”
