Legendary Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has reportedly been banned from entering the team’s dressing room, according to Mail Sport.
This decision marks the end of a long-standing tradition that dates back to the days of Sir Matt Busby, when former managers were welcome in the dressing room after games.
This change comes amid other surprising developments at the club. Reports emerged earlier on Tuesday that Ferguson’s multi-million-pound ambassadorial role at United has also been scrapped by the club’s new part-owners, INEOS, as part of their ongoing cost-cutting measures.

Sir Alex Ferguson Banned from Manchester United Dressing Room
Ferguson, who is regarded as the most successful manager in Manchester United’s history, is now restricted from entering the team’s inner sanctum after matches, which has raised eyebrows among fans and former players alike.
United, however, insists that there has been no direct ban on Ferguson’s access to the dressing room. Instead, they claim there is now a “collective understanding” over who is allowed inside the space post-match.
This policy change also affects other board members, who have reportedly been asked to stay away from the dressing room at Old Trafford.
These moves by INEOS seem to be part of a broader strategy to reshape the club’s culture and finances, sparking debates over the balance between respecting traditions and driving modern efficiency.
