Sir Alex Ferguson has not made any public statements criticizing a Manchester United player or manager ahead of the club’s upcoming match against Tottenham Hotspur. A recent viral report that alleges Ferguson condemned a player who was signed for £70 million and advised the current manager, Ruben Amorim, to exclude him from the squad is completely false.
Since retiring in 2013, Ferguson has not been involved in making public criticisms regarding team selection or the performance of Manchester United. The claim that he has interfered in the club’s affairs in this manner is entirely unfounded. Furthermore, the report incorrectly states that Ruben Amorim is the manager of Manchester United when, in reality, Erik ten Hag remains in charge. While there has been ongoing speculation surrounding Ten Hag’s future at the club, he continues to hold his managerial position.
Additionally, the viral report attempts to fabricate a controversy around a £70 million signing, but no credible sources have reported any such issue within the club. The claim lacks any factual basis and appears to be an attempt to stir unnecessary controversy ahead of the fixture. The misleading nature of the report is further highlighted by the inclusion of references to players such as Jude Bellingham and Kai Havertz. However, neither of these players is part of Manchester United’s squad. Bellingham currently plays for Real Madrid, while Havertz is a member of Arsenal’s team. Their mention in connection to this fabricated controversy only adds to the misinformation being spread.
The spread of such false reports has become increasingly common, especially on social media, where unverified claims can quickly gain traction. However, there is no legitimate evidence to support the assertions made in this case. Ferguson has consistently maintained a respectful distance from the club’s internal affairs since stepping down as manager over a decade ago. While he remains a highly respected figure in Manchester United’s history and is often present at games, he does not publicly involve himself in the club’s managerial decisions or player evaluations.
As of now, Erik ten Hag remains the head coach, and there have been no official statements from Manchester United or credible media outlets to suggest that Ferguson has issued any remarks regarding the squad or specific players. The claims circulating online should therefore be dismissed as baseless rumors designed to generate controversy and engagement. Fans should rely on reputable sources for accurate information regarding the club rather than viral speculation lacking factual support.
