Sir Alex Ferguson has been spotted at the Lowry Hotel today and is understood to have spoken to PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino.
The hotel is the usual haunt for Manchester United, who Ferguson memorably led between 1986 and 2013, but it is Ligue 1 giants PSG who are staying there now before their Champions League semi-final clash with City.
Sportsmail can reveal that Ferguson and Pochettino met during the legendary former manager's fleeting visit at the luxury venue, which is located in Salford.
PSG face an uphill task to secure a spot in the final after losing 2-1 in the first leg in Paris despite having taken the lead.
