GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) — Alex Ferguson has turned up to watch former club Aberdeen after it emerged this week that his lucrative role as a Manchester United ambassador will end. Ferguson, who won 28 major trophies as the United manager, has been a global ambassador for the club since retiring in 2013. But the role worth millions of dollars will cease at the end of the season in a cost-cutting move. It was reported Ferguson, who has regularly attended United games since retiring, had a prior engagement and planned to miss United’s game against Brentford at Old Trafford. He was pictured in the crowd at Celtic Park in Glasgow to watch Celtic host Aberdeen in the Scottish league.
