Former Man United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has broken his own world record with his involvement in the £660,000 purchase of an unbeaten horse.

Here is the staggering amount the former footballer and manager Sir Alex Ferguson is worth despite his multi-million pound role within Manchester United getting axed by Ineos.

The legendary Sir Alex Ferguson once revealed which five players he would have loved to manage at Manchester United.

Ferguson became a global club ambassador and club director after stepping down as manager in 2013 after a 26-year reign, with the legendary former boss reportedly still receiving £2.16million-a-year.

Sir Alex Ferguson and the Manchester United football board have been asked not to enter the dressing room at Old Trafford – breaking a tradition that stretches back to the days of Sir Matt Busby.

The game came just days after Ineos axed Ferguson's £2million-a-year ambassadorial contract at the Premier League club in a cost-cutting measure.

It was reported on Tuesday morning that United minority owners INEOS have decided to end Ferguson's multi-million-pound contract as a global club ambassador and club director.
