Fergie, 75, gets £2million for 20 days a year as a United ambassador and £100,000 for speeches.

He has said:"I work hard. It's a different type of work - I've got my ambassadorial role with UNICEF, I'm part of the coaching institution at UEFA, I have a faculty at Harvard University and I'm a director of Manchester United - so pretty busy.

"Being at the club for 26-and-a-half years, I just didn't want to wipe it out of my life.

"So when they made me a director and an ambassador, I thought that was the perfect position to be in, watching the team, enjoying it and travelling with them at times.

"When I decided to retire I was going to make sure I wasn't going to sit and watch television, I was going to get out and take another part of my life.

"I miss the big games, of course, but I made my decision and I’m enjoying it."
