Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson was seen wearing a protective boot on Sunday as the Red Devils clashed with Ipswich
Sir Alex Ferguson was snapped wearing a protective boot as he arrived for Manchester United vs Ipswich on Sunday afternoon.
The Red Devils were looking to bounce back from their opening weekend loss to Hull City during their first home game of the season. And as football returned to Old Trafford, so too did its most iconic manager.
However, as he stepped out of his car, videos showed the legendary manager sporting a protective boot on his left leg as he was given help towards the entrance. Sir Alex was also seen with a walking stick as he was greeted with cheers.

The former United boss suffered a health scare back in May when he was taken to hospital before United’s clash with Liverpool.
He had started to feel unwell at the stadium when he was taken away in an ambulance – where he was checked over as a precaution.
The Scot had a brain haemorrhage in 2018, which was life-threatening, something he spoke about three years later. “[I am] probably [now] not taking things too seriously in terms of knowing that you’re vulnerable.
“If I go tomorrow I’ll be grateful for the three years extra I had. That’s a feeling I’ve had for quite a while now.”
As United manager, Sir Alex led the Red Devils to 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, four League Cups and two Champions League triumphs. However, he retired in 2013 – the last time United won the top tier.
He has worked as an ambassador for the club in the years that followed and is a regular at Old Trafford. The Scot will be hoping for a better result on Sunday as United look for their first win of the season.
