Sir Alex Ferguson leads Manchester United greats cheering on youngsters in FA Youth Cup final

Sir Alex Ferguson is in attendance for tonight's FA Youth Cup final between Manchester United and Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford.

United's Under-18s are looking to become the first Reds side to win the competition since the likes of Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard helped the Class of 2011 lifted the trophy 11 years ago. Playing in front of a recording-breaking crowd, touching almost 70,000 people, United's Class of 2022 will be aiming to impress legendary boss Ferguson.

Club captain Harry Maguire, goalkeeper David de Gea, centre-backs Phil Jones and Eric Bailly and midfielder Scott McTominay were amongst the current first-team players spotted lending their support.
