Sir Alex Ferguson joins Man Utd first-team stars at FA Youth Cup final

Sir Alex Ferguson was among the thousands in attendance to watch Manchester United's next generation in the FA Youth Cup final.

Old Trafford was the venue on Wednesday night as the Red Devils' young guns hosted Nottingham Forest, with more than 67,000 tickets sold for the contest. United booked their place in the final with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Wolves, courtesy of a brace from Charlie McNeil and a goal from highly-rated prospect Alejandro Garnacho.

It was the biggest crowd both sides will have ever played in front of, and there were a number of famous faces in the stand. Legendary former manager Ferguson cast his eye over the next wave of United hopefuls, and was sat next to former England boss Sam Allardyce.
