And he was joined in the stands by Barry Fry – who came through United’s academy without making a senior appearance.

Sky Sports commentator Daniel Mann said: “I’m sure we’re all excited to see Sir Alex here.

“Another fellow former Manchester United man there in Barry Fry, who had four years there as a young player.”

Ferguson and Fry watched as Cardiff won the game 2-1.

Fry had a storied 12-year playing career with the likes of Bolton, Luton and Leyton Orient.

He finished as a player at St Albans City in 1974 and went into coaching.

Fry managed Barnet, Southend, Birmingham and Peterborough – his most lengthy coaching spell between 1996-2005.

He briefly returned to the Posh’s dugout as joint caretaker boss before taking the role as director of football.
