Ferguson remains a regular at United games despite his recent health concerns.

He posed for a snap alongside Team GB’s golden girl and United fan Hodgkinson.

She was given a hero’s welcome as the 800m champion showed off her gold medal prior to kick-off at Old Trafford.

The 22-year-old was presented with a framed Man Utd shirt before heading off on a lap of honour.

But she left disappointed as Erik ten Hag’s men fell to a calamitous defeat.

Despite the result, Hodgkinson and Sir Alex were all smiles as they linked up after the game in the VIP area.

The pair shared a hug as the Atherton native documented her day out to her 521,000 Instagram followers.

Hodgkinson wrote: “Thank you for a warm welcome yesterday @manchesterunited.

“It was an honour to meet the man of the hour, in the theatre of dreams, supporting the best team in the world.”

One fan responded to the snap: “They were just happy to see a winner Keely!”

While a second joked: “At the game yesterday, you were the highlight…..”

And a third laughed: “Can you play up front for us?”

After Hodgkinson’s valiant actions in Paris last month, she immediately took out on vacation.

She was seen lounging on a lavish boat in Marbella, taking a well-earned nap.

The 22-year-old also disclosed that her mother was an ardent United supporter.

Hodgkinson revealed: “My mum has had a Manchester United season ticket since she was 19.

“Her name is on the seats at Old Trafford. She is more of a diehard fan than me.”
