Manchester United defeated Leicester City 5-2 in the round of 16 of the Carabao Cup (League Cup) in the 2024-2025 season at Old Trafford in Manchester, England on the 31st (Korea time). Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes scored two goals each, and Alejandro Garnacho scored one. Manchester United's quarterfinal opponent is Son Heung-min's Tottenham. They are competing to advance to the semifinals on December 17.
Ferguson disappeared from Old Trafford after his Ambassador contract was broken. Immediately after his retirement in 2013, he signed a global ambassador contract worth 2.16 million pounds (about 3.8 billion won) per year. The contract, which has been in place for over a decade, was broken by United's new owner Jim Ratcliffe. It is a cost-saving measure.
Ferguson accepted the decision in a friendly manner, but fans' anger exploded. Ferguson is Manchester United's history. He led United for 27 seasons from November 1986 to May 2013.
Manchester United collected a total of 38 trophies under Ferguson, including two European Champions League (UCL), 13 English Premier League (EPL) and five FA. Ferguson was inducted into the EPL Hall of Fame in March with Arsen Wenger, who led Arsenal.

Ferguson is a former Aberdeen head coach. In recognition of his ability at Aberdeen, he joined hands with Manchester United after serving as head coach of the Scotland national team.
There is a particular reason for visiting Old Trafford. Coach Ruud van Nistelrooy led the match against Leicester City as a temporary coach. Van Nistelrooy played a key role in Manchester United's attack from 2001-2022 to 2005-2006 under Ferguson. With 150 goals in 219 matches, he won the EPL, FA Cup and League Cup once each.
England's 'The Sun'Ferguson was still welcomed on the field and watched his first game since Ten Hach was fired. He would have been very proud to see his former player Nistelroy take over the team on an interim basis, he reported.
The reason why Ferguson, a natural man, drew more attention is because of the person sitting next to him. Ferguson watched the match by talking to English cricket legend Michael Vaughan.
Fans had mixed feelings. On social media, there were a lot of reactions such as, "Why is Bourne sitting next to Ferguson?" "Is it Michael Bourne?" "I can't believe the pitiful Ferguson has to watch Bourne's game in his ear."
