SIR ALEX FERGUSON was spotted watching Peterborough’s season opener against Cardiff – joined by a former Manchester United player.
Ferguson’s was supporting his son Darren – who is in charge at Peterborough.
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.

But he was banned in 2019 for four-months for breaching an FA betting rule but later returned to his role that year.
Ferugson’s son Darren – who played for Peterborough for a year before retiring in 2008 – has twice managed the club.
He spent three seasons from 2019 but left before making a return one year later in 2023.
He kept the club up last season – finishing 18th in League One.
