Sir Alex Ferguson led the congregation at Old Trafford as Manchester United paid tribute to the Busby Babes on the 60th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster on Tuesday.
The legendary former manager joined current boss Jose Mourinho alongside players, past and present, and thousands of fans to honour the 23 people who tragically lost their lives.
After the service finished Ferguson, who was sat beside executive vice chairman Ed Woodward, took the opportunity to shake hands with members of the current Red Devils squad.
A video showed Ferguson greeting Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Victor Lindelof before coming face to face with Scott McTominay.

After shaking hands with the youngster, he kept hold of his arm and appeared to tell him something, before Mourinho walked towards the duo.
McTominay quickly departed in the direction of his fellow Manchester United team-mates, as Ferguson greeted Mourinho.

And the Scot could be seen pointing in the direction of the 21-year-old, as he began chatting to the United boss in an animated fashion.
It cannot be determined what Ferguson said to Mourinho, but the fact he was pointing at McTominay while talking suggested he was singing the youngster's praises and telling the Portuguese he needs to play him more often.
McTominay has made 11 appearances for the Red Devils this season, after featuring twice for the club last season.
His most recent game against Huddersfield saw £89million signing Paul Pogba being dropped to the bench, as United ran out 2-0 winners.
