SIR ALEX FERGUSON watched on from the stands at Elland Road with a long-term colleague as Manchester United faced Leeds.
The former Red Devils boss took his place behind United chief executive Omar Berrada in a box at the ground with eagle-eyed fans spotting who was sat next next to him.
To Fergie’s right, ex-United kitman Albert Morgan was seen enjoying the action as well.
Like Ferguson, Morgan also left Old Trafford in 2013 having served for 20 years as the trusty kitman.
Here, he was sat in a suit and coat, keeping out the cold in Yorkshire, having a chat with Ferguson.
United director Jason Wilcox was also stationed in front of the pair as Ruben Amorim’s side pushed for an opener.
Seeing them together, one X user wrote: “That pure football love.
“The kit man is probably as important as your best striker, so a deserve respect and friendship.”
Neither Ferguson or Morgan are employed by the club anymore but still got out to the game.
Fergie remains a regular as he continues to watch United try and return to their peak.

Morgan may well have been an underrated part of his success, with Jaap Stam saying on Instagram previously “Always a pleasure to meet up with this amazing person, former kitman of United, Albert Morgan!
“Someone that is truly dedicated, honest, professional in everything he does, the standard you need to win trophies!!”
Often an unseen figure on a matchday, the kitman plays a key role in maintaining squad harmony.
In 2020, Morgan himself told United: “We’ve been blessed at the club with the players that we’ve had. Fabulous people.
“The boss [Ferguson] used to scrutinise not only how they could play, but also finding out about their characters, their families, their agents, their hangers-on.
“He went into the background and if there was any doubt at all, he wouldn’t sign them, no matter how good the player was.
“He wouldn’t take the chance because you don’t want any bad apples.
“So you end up with the best kind of characters in your club.”
He added: “I want to be able to walk into Old Trafford until the day I die and have people let on and be comfortable chatting to me.
“Once you have the trust of people like Sir Alex Ferguson, you don’t betray it.
“That’s more valuable than anything you could sell.”
