Ferguson returns to Old Trafford for Manchester United v Wolves
The 76-year-old was pictured arriving at the ground ahead of United's match against Wolves in the Premier League.
Ferguson has largely remained out of the public eye following a brain haemorrhage that required emergency surgery.
He appeared in a video in July to thank hospital staff for saving his life and is sure to receive a rapturous reception from fans of the club he led to 13 league titles.
United are seeking a fourth successive competitive victory following wins over Burnley, Watford and Young Boys in the Champions League.
