SIR ALEX FERGUSON is preparing for a new chapter in his life – by watching Paris Saint-Germain attempt to write the greatest one in their history.
The legendary ex-Manchester United boss arrived at Bayern Munich 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.
So far it’s not been the final flourish the Red Devils’ most famous ever manager would 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 huge cost-cutting from United’s minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

However, it certainly wasn’t personal as Ratcliffe and his company unveiled nearly 500 redundancies in all.
Meanwhile, there’s major investment planned for the future, most notably a new £2billion 100,000-seat stadium.
But 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, which was three years before fellow club icon Neville arrived.
But since Ferguson’s departure 12 years ago, United have regularly dipped out of the Prem elite.
Now ex-England defender Nev, 50, is a TV pundit – while it’s unclear if Fergie will have another direct job in football.
The duo beat traffic mayhem to arrive at Saturday night’s final in good time.
It follows chaos at a Munich station amid fighting between rival groups of fans.
