Sir Alex Ferguson, the man who has overcome so much in his life, has beaten the odds once more and returned to his old stomping ground Old Trafford.
In turn, he received the most incredible and powerful reception we've seen in some time.
He was expected to make his comeback to the stands at the end of the year, but it was confirmed that the great Sir Alex would be in the stands to watch his former side play against Wolves.
Despite a rather glum performance from United, it was a day to remember for the 76-year-old, who returned to the stands for the first time since being diagnosed with a brain haemorrhage earlier this year.

Just check out Fergie's reaction moments after walking up the stairs and into the stadium. Who's chopping onions in here?
Look at that smile.
Ferguson spent four weeks in hospital before being released, with doctors saying he is"extremely lucky" to be alive.

Back in May, Peter Hamlyn, a consultant neurosurgeon, said the following about the great man's recovery:
"His surgeons have decided to operate almost certainly because they felt the size of the blood clot was causing damage to the remaining brain tissue. This is often life-saving surgery and aims to reduce any long-term disability Sir Alex might suffer from this form of stroke," he wrote in Independent Ireland.
"For the first few days after the operation, the focus is on the patient's life support. A prognosis is very hard to give in the first days and often for some weeks.

"If they survive without signs of improvement after several months, then it is unlikely that an individual will return to their former health. However, in the immediate aftermath there is everything to fight for and the potential for a full recovery, albeit sometimes after a long period of rehabilitation."
It is great to have you back enjoying the football, boss.
