The Olympic star showed off her gold medal prior to the game

Ferguson continues to attend United games frequently in spite of his recent health issues.

Hodgkinson, a supporter of United and the golden girl of Team GB, posed for a picture with him.

Before the match at Old Trafford began, the 800m champion displayed her gold medal and received a hero’s welcome.

The 22-year-old made a lap of honour after receiving a framed Manchester United shirt.

However, she left empty-handed as Erik ten Hag’s forces suffered a disastrous loss.

Hodgkinson and Sir Alex reunited in the VIP section following the game, beaming despite the outcome.

As the resident of Atherton posted pictures of her day to her 521,000 Instagram followers, the two exchanged hugs.

“Thank you for a warm welcome yesterday @manchesterunited,” Hodgkinson posted.

“It was an honour to meet the man of the hour, in the theatre of dreams, supporting the best team in the world.”

A admirer said, “They were just happy to see a winner Keely!” in response to the photo.

One person made a joke, “You were the highlight of yesterday’s game.”

Three others chuckled and said, “Can you play up front for us?”

After Hodgkinson’s valiant actions in Paris last month, she immediately took out on vacation.

She was seen lounging on a lavish yacht in Marbella, taking a well-earned nap.

The 22-year-old also disclosed that her mother was an ardent United supporter.

“My mum has had a Manchester United season ticket since she was 19,” Hodgkinson disclosed.

“Her name appears on the Old Trafford seats. She is a bigger fan than I am.”
