SIR ALEX FERGUSON is preparing for a new chapter – by watching Paris Saint-Germain attempt to write their greatest one ever.

The legendary ex-Manchester United boss arrived at Bayern Munich‘s famous venue with Gary Neville as PSG bid to finally win the Champions League.

The French giants are taking on Inter Milan, just as 83-year-old Fergie bows out of his special role as United’s global ambassador.

It’s not quite been the final flourish the Red Devils’ most famous ever manager might have liked.

He was in Bilbao to see United’s 1-0 loss to Tottenham in the Europa league showpiece on May 21.

And that’s after he lost his £2million-a-year position at Old Trafford – as part of major cost-cutting from United’s minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

It certainly wasn’t personal as Ratcliffe and his company unveiled nearly 500 redundancies.

And there’s also planned investment for the future – most notably for a new £2billion 100,000-seat stadium.

Ferguson’s glittering 26 years in charge contrasts with everything that has followed since his managerial retirement in 2013.

Fergie guided United to 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League crowns.

Undoubtedly the peak was the Treble in 1998-99 – three years before fellow club icon Neville arrived.

Now the ex-England defender, 50, is a TV pundit – while it’s unclear if Fergie will have another direct job in football. 

At least the duo beat traffic mayhem to arrive at the final in good time.

It follows chaos at a Munich station caused by fighting between rival groups of fans.
