Man Utd greats Ferguson, Beckham in Paris to cast eye over PSG, Chelsea

Manchester United royalty was present during Tuesday night's Champions League clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.

Former Old Trafford boss Sir Alex Ferguson and ex-midfielder David Beckham were sat near each other in the stands casting an eye over Laurent Blanc's PSG and Jose Mourinho's in the Round of 16 first leg of Europe's premier club competition which ended 1-1 after Edinson Cavani cancelled out Branislav Ivanovic's opener.

PSG is one of Beckham's former clubs having played there for a short spell in 2013 when making 10 appearances and helping them clinch the 2012/13 Ligue 1 title.

Not far from Beckham and Ferguson was UEFA president Michel Platini who was also keeping close watch over proceedings at Parc des Princes but it was the former PSG man who was receiving the closest attention.
