Sir Alex Ferguson celebrated 25 years in charge of Manchester United with a 1-0 victory over Sunderland thanks to a helping hand from one of his former players.
The Scot, who took over at Old Trafford on November 6, 1986, walked onto the pitch through a guard of honour made up of both teams and former United defender Steve Bruce, now manager of Sunderland, before chief executive David Gill announced the north stand was being renamed in his honour.
The game, which will certainly not live as long in the memory, was settled in the hosts' favour in first-half injury time when former United man Wes Brown headed into his own net on his first return to Old Trafford.
