  • THE EXPLANATION

    Fergie is attending the game to support his son, Darren, who manages Peterborough. They have not won any of their last four games but will be desperate to right their course as they attempt to derail Wrexham's promotion push. Perhaps the presence of the former Manchester United boss will serve as inspiration.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Ferguson has been present at multiple games this season and is regularly spotted watching Manchester United. He was also recently pictured at Posh's home game against Barnsley, but has now followed them to Wales.
