As Manchester United tries to pick up the pieces following a streak of poor performance seasons, the club has reportedly returned to its legendary former Manager Sir Alex Ferguson, to stabilize the club. Ferguson has been hired as a consultant to help interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to improve the fortunes of the club.
“Once [Executive vice-chairman] Ed Woodward had talked to the Glazers and told them he wanted Jose out, he needed to be certain he could get the right kind of figure in for the short term at least,” a source familiar with the advent of Ferguson told a British tabloid.
Ferguson’s hiring comes days after the club’s manager Jose Mourinho was fired for poor performance.
Over 26 years, Sir Alex Ferguson won 25 titles with Manchester United.
The 76 year old Scotsman shall however be in a temporary position until the end of the season, sources at the club say.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he has been taking advice from Ferguson, who is said to have recommended his appointment.
