Ferguson returns to Old Trafford after surgery

Sir Alex Ferguson made an emotional return to old Trafford to watch former club Manchester United host Wolves in a Premier League clash which is underway. United are leading  by a lone goal scored by Fred.

The 76-year-old who was making his first public appearance since undergoing brain surgery was pictured arriving the ground ahead of the match. He managed United for 27 years

Speaking about his return and current health, Ferguson told MUTV : “I’m really good. Obviously, it’s been a long journey.  I’m gradually making steps forward, doing what my surgeon tells me and the doctors tell me so, yeah, I’m really good.

“I’m a bit nervous (about being back at Old Trafford) to be honest with you, maybe a bit tense really because I think my last game was Arsenal back in April some time, so it’s a long time. But it’s great to be back and I just hope we get a win today.”

Asked if he had missed attending matches at Old Trafford, Ferguson joked: “I don’t miss this! This is the press room where I used to hammer these press guys when they ask their stupid questions!

“But it’s great to get back to the stadium and it’s going to be a bit emotional for me really when the game gets started and things like that but it had to happen sometime and I’ve been looking forward to it. The important thing was getting the right time and the right rest before I came to a game.

“It’s bound to be (an emotional day), particularly when I sit in the [directors’] box, that will obviously be something, but I’ll be glad to get it over with and get the game started and enjoy it.”

Ferguson had also appeared on video to deliver a message to Paul Scholes at a charity dinner in honour of the former United midfielder.
