After suffering a brain hemorrhage in May, Sir Alex Ferguson is back at Old Trafford for the first time.
Manchester United’s legendary manager has battled back to health over the past four months, as he sent out a message in July thanking everyone for their well wishes on his road to recovery after brain surgery and spending time in intensive care.
Fergie arrived at Old Trafford ahead of United’s clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday (Watch live, 10 a.m. ET online via NBCSports.com) and the most successful manager in British history was welcomed back by fans 15 minutes before kick off.
Sir Alex was applauded to his seat before the game as the fans celebrated his return to United’s home.
What a wonderful sight this is. Welcome back, Sir Alex.
🙌 Wonderful moment as Sir Alex Ferguson is applauded and welcomed back to Old Trafford for the first time since suffering a brain hemorrhage.
