Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson remains in intensive care after having emergency surgery on Saturday for a brain haemorrhage.
Sunday 6th May 2018
A United statement said the procedure "had gone very well" but there is no update on the 76-year-old's condition.
The Scot retired as United manager in May 2013 after winning 38 trophies during 26 years in charge.
He was at Old Trafford last Sunday when he presented Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger with a commemorative trophy.
Ferguson's family have requested privacy as he recovers in Salford Royal Hospital.
"We will keep Sir Alex and his loved ones in our thoughts during this time, and we are united in our wish to see him make a comfortable, speedy recovery," United later said in a tweet.
"He needs a period of intensive care to optimise his recovery."
The most successful manager in the history of the British game, Ferguson's trophy haul at Old Trafford included 13 Premier League titles, two Champions League crowns, five FA Cups and four League Cups.
Ferguson famously won the Treble of Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in 1999, the year in which he was knighted.
United's club captain Michael Carrick said he was "devastated" to learn his former manager had needed emergency surgery.
"All my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. Be strong boss," he posted on Twitter.
Sir Alex Ferguson is intensive care after suffering a brain haemorrhage.
One of the greatest managers ever and I hope he pulls through.

Fergie was the pinnacle of football management when it came to getting the best out of average players. Tom Cleverley is a classic example, played brilliantly under Fergie's tutorage but was mainly a failure elsewhere.
How Man United won the PL in 2013 is a complete mystery as their squad that year had less quality than Man City for sure and probably at least 3 other sides.
He was a very driven but compassionate and principled man who rightly is very well admired.
