Sir Alex Ferguson may be retired, but his presence still makes headlines.
When the Manchester United legend was spotted in Paris this week — at the Parc des Princes, no less — fans instantly started buzzing.
Not because he came to scout the PSG vs. Arsenal match, but because of who he met before it.
The 83-year-old was reportedly seen in conversation with PSG’s Sporting Director, Luis Campos, at a hotel in the French capital.
That set the rumor mill spinning faster than a winger on the counterattack.
With Manchester United still fine-tuning their football structure after Dan Ashworth’s exit, speculation quickly grew — was Campos in line for a move to Old Trafford?

Duncan Castles clears the air on Sir Alex Ferguson's meeting with PSG’s Sporting Director
But before fans could start dreaming of Campos pulling strings at Carrington, journalist Duncan Castles poured cold water on the flames. On The Transfers Podcast, Castles said:
“My guarantee is that it had nothing to do with working at Manchester United... Apparently, the discussion was a general conversation about football. No talks about Campos moving to Manchester United.”
So, just two football brains sharing ideas — not a secret mission to rebuild the United empire. Still, when someone like Ferguson talks football with someone like Campos, ears perk up.
These aren’t your average pub chat merchants — these are men who’ve helped shape elite clubs.
And let’s not forget Campos’ track record. From discovering Fabinho and Bernardo Silva to signing stars like Victor Osimhen and Rafael Leao, the man knows a good player when he sees one. No wonder United fans got excited.
Even if Campos isn’t Old Trafford-bound, having a line to Sir Alex never hurts. Whether it’s wisdom, advice, or just a bit of banter, Ferguson’s football radar remains sharp.
