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 - before returning to that role later in the 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.

Fergie Jr's Peterborough were beaten play-off semi-finalists in both 2023 and 2024 before a disappointing 18th-placed finish last term.
