SIR Alex Ferguson has slashed £250,000 off the price of his luxury mansion as he seeks a wealthy buyer.

The legendary former Manchester United boss, 82, put the £3.5m property in Wilmslow, Cheshire, on the market following the death of his wife Cathy.

His five-bedroom home comes complete with a stylish open plan kitchen and games room.

But after struggling to shift the property, he reduced the price to £3.25m last week in a bid to offload it.

Photos of the property also reveal a dazzling hallway chandelier, en-suite bathrooms and perfectly manicured lawns.

The games room is decorated with art work, oak bookcases and a snooker table while a unique ‘Ferguson clan’ tartan carpet features on the staircase.

Estate agents acting on his behalf said: "This impressive, deceptively spacious detached property is situated on one of Cheshire's most desirable roads."

Ferguson, who also managed Aberdeen, moved to a £1.2m house near to his son Darren so he could be closer to his grandchildren in the village of Goostrey, Cheshire.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers, 51, is also trying to shift a property on the same road as Ferguson.

He put his mansion up for sale with a £4.2m price tag which was reduced to £4m last month.

It comes with five bedrooms, a gym, landscaped gardens, a double garage and a bar area as well as CCTV, underfloor heating and speakers in the ceilings.

Ferguson was manager at Old Trafford from 1986 to 2013 after a spell managing teams in Scotland, including Aberdeen, St Mirren, as well as the national team.
