The United legend, who is an ambassador for the club, is also working with UEFA, and has revealed a number of potential future plans in store. He continued by saying: âWell, Iâm an ambassador for Manchester United and Iâm on the clubâs board of directors so I still watch a lot of games but I do miss the banter of the dressing room; the players, obviously, but also the backroom staff. All lovely people: cleaners, cooks, admin people, kit staff. Really decent, honest people. "I donât see them as much now as I used to but Iâve also been appointed as an ambassador for Uefa, I chair a forum of elite coaches, not any no-mark like Brendan Rodgers; that meet every year. And Iâm a member of the technical study group of the Champions League and the European Championship. So Iâm still involved in football at the highest level." âRight now weâre looking at the possibility of introducing sin bins like they have in rugby â a 10-minute suspension during the match. But we want to be careful that somehow it isnât exploited if itâs introduced. It appears, then, that football could follow in the footsteps of rugby, but it also appears that there could be other changes ahead in Europe's elite competition. "Weâre also looking at wiping out bookings when teams reach the latter stages of a cup competition. We lost Darren Fletcher from the 2009 Champions League final against Barcelona and also missed Keane and Scholes for picking up cards in the 1999 Champions League final against Bayern Munich. Now, theyâd all played in all the previous rounds so it wasnât fair they missed out. Weâll see on that one. "Weâre also looking at allowing 11 substitutes on the bench for big finals in Europe. That way you can recognise the contribution the squadâs made and allow a wider range of substitutions.â Losing Fletcher made a massive difference for that final. And it was an undeserved booking as well.
