Manchester United fans were in for a surprise when two club legends, Edwin van der Sar and Robin van Persie, were spotted at Old Trafford just days after Sir Jim Ratcliffe's takeover of the club. The fans couldn't believe it was a sheer coincidence and speculated about the possible roles the duo could have under Ratcliffe.

Van Persie's Return?

Many fans were especially excited to see Robin van Persie in the stands and wondered if it hinted at a potential return to the club. His presence added fuel to the speculation surrounding the roles of both Van Persie and Van der Sar under Ratcliffe.

A Comeback Victory

As Manchester United staged a remarkable comeback to win 3-2 against Aston Villa, fans expressed their delight at witnessing the victory alongside the club's former heroes. The atmosphere at Old Trafford was electric, with fans commenting on the scriptwriters outdoing themselves with this thrilling match.

Speculation Over Roles Under Ratcliffe

With Sir Jim Ratcliffe's buy-in of 25% of the club awaiting ratification from football chiefs, speculation has been rife about the potential roles for Van der Sar and Van Persie. Van der Sar, who recently left his position as Ajax CEO, and Van Persie, who was promoted to co-head coach of Feyenoord's youth teams, could be set for new positions at Manchester United.

Some fans questioned whether it was merely a coincidence that the two legends were present at the game, given Ratcliffe's recent takeover.
