Police guarded the scene while passersby watched the ex-England captain chat outside for around ten minutes before being picked up by a Mercedes with blacked out windows.

The Ferguson family confirmed the sad news of Lady Cathy’s death in a statement which said: “We are deeply saddened to confirm the passing yesterday of Lady Cathy Ferguson, survived by her husband, three sons, two sisters, 12 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Cathy had been married to Sir Alex since 1966, with the couple having met while they were both working at the Remington Rand typewriter factory in Glasgow.

When he announced his retirement as United manager in 2013 after an unprecedented period of success for the Red Devils, Ferguson said: “My wife Cathy has been the key figure throughout my career, providing a bedrock of both stability and encouragement.

"Words are not enough to express what this has meant to me.”
