AMIR KHAN stunned fans when he “violated” Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford – then posted a bizarre caption from Wikipedia on Instagram sharing the moment.
Khan’s had some extra time on his hands since retiring from boxing in April following his crushing defeat to rival Kell Brook.
The 35-year-old admitted after the fight that he no longer wanted to get hurt in the ring.
And Khan spent a moment of his free time having a catch-up with Fergie at the Theatre Of Dreams, in a clip shared on Instagram.
The pair were full of smiles as they laughed and appeared to discuss their physiques.
Fergie endearingly placed a hand on Khan’s shoulder while they spoke.

But it was Khan’s reaction that shocked fans and left them jokingly claiming he violated the ex-United boss.
The Bolton native, wearing a black Christian Dior jumper, proceeded to rub Fergie’s belly – causing it to jiggle.
Although it was clear to see Khan meant no harm, one fan mused: “Can’t believe you rubbed his belly.”
While another quipped: “Man fully violated Fergie with the belly rub, he went home and shadow boxed Amir Khan in the mirror straight after, ” along with a slew of crying face emojis.

Others ribbed Khan for his caption on the picture, as it was a direct excerpt from Wikipedia.
The caption, stolen from Wikipedia, read: “Lovely to meet Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester Old Trafford Stadium. Best known for managing Manchester United from 1986 to 2013.
“He is widely regarded as one of the greatest football managers of all time.”
One more mocked Khan for stating the obvious in his caption, adding: “Cheers for that Amir I’d never heard of him.”
Man United kept a smile on Fergie’s face when they defeated Southampton 1-0 on Saturday.
The Red Devils are coming off the back of a resounding win over Liverpool which saw Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire dropped.
And boss Erik ten Hag has left the duo out of his squad again, as United won back-to-back games for the first time since February.
