Sir Alex Ferguson returns to Old Trafford for the first time since the restart to watch Manchester United's draw with Southampton... but eagle-eyed fans are quick to point out he didn't wear his face mask properly

Manchester United managerial great Sir Alex Ferguson attended a match at Old Trafford for the first time since lockdown on Monday night, but was spotted wearing his face mask incorrectly at one point.

Ferguson, the 78-year-old who won 13 Premier League titles during an unprecedented 26 years of success at the club, sat in the stands below executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward for the draw against Southampton.

The visitors grabbed a stoppage-time - or Fergie-time - equaliser courtesy of Michael Obafemi in a setback to United's top-four hopes, but separate to the game, Ferguson was seen wearing his facial covering below the nose by fans on social media.
