Fenerbahce manager, Jose Mourinho, has reacted to Manchester United's decision to terminate Sir Alex Ferguson's ambassadorial deal.
According to Mourinho, Ferguson enjoys the love of United fans more than an ambassadorial role with the club.
The Scot was given the role after retiring from management in 2013.
But new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has decided to terminate the contract, which is worth around £2 million per year.
"My relationship with Alex was amazing and incredible, when my Netflix documentary comes out, you'll know more about the reason why I have so much respect for him," Mourinho told reporters.
"The ambassadorial role, I don't know in depth the situation. But it doesn't matter why, it doesn't matter what, Sir Alex has the most important thing of all, the love and respect of every Manchester United fan around the world.
"More important than any role, or a few pounds he doesn't need. The most important thing is the love and respect every fan has for him."
