The brother of Old Trafford boss Sir Alex has been actively scouting players on the continent this season but was spotted watching a domestic affair at the Sports Direct Arena.
Tiote, 25, had been out of action for two months prior to his comeback at the weekend - strengthening the notion that Ferguson's presence there was no coincidence.
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew said last week that any club wishing to buy Tiote in January would have to pay through the nose and that it would be 'very difficult' to persuade the club to part with him.
Tiote, who joined Newcastle for £3.5million 18 months ago, signed a new contract in February tying him to the club until 2017.
However, sources in the north east say Newcastle's business model is partially built on selling players on when clubs traditionally make panic buys - the January transfer window.
