Sir Alex Ferguson presented David de Gea with an award before Manchester United's game against West Ham - over 12 years since the Scotsman missed a game to scout the goalkeeper.
The former Red Devils boss didn't attend a League Cup match against Scunthorpe United in September 2010 as he decided to go and watch De Gea instead. The Spaniard was playing for Atletico Madrid against Valencia.
United ran out comfortable 5-2 winners at Glanford Park in Ferguson's absence, with a Michael Owen brace and goals from Darren Gibson, Ji-Sung Park and Chris Smalling sealing their progression. Meanwhile, De Gea impressed but conceded twice as his Atletico side were held to a 2-2 draw at the Mestalla.
