Manchester United fans speculate after club legends Edwin van der Sar and Robin van Persie are spotted at Old Trafford for the first game since Sir Jim Ratcliffe's partial takeover

Manchester United fans have speculated on social media after two of the club's former players were spotted in attendance at Old Trafford.

Edwin van der Sar and Robin van Persie were both pictured watching on from the stands as United took on Aston Villa with Erik ten Hag looking to end a three-game winless streak.

Also at Old Trafford was INEOS group director of sport Sir Dave Brailsford, just days after Sir Jim Ratcliffe's 1.3bn partial takeover was officially announced by the club after months of speculation.
