Footballing royalty at Wrexham! Why legendary ex-Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson is in attendance as Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney’s side take on Peterborough – explained

WHAT HAPPENED?

Wrexham welcome Peterborough to the StoK Cae Ras on Saturday afternoon as they aim to continue their promotion push. Posh, by comparison, are 19th, and Sir Alex Ferguson was spotted going into the stadium to watch the match.

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.
