Sir Alex Ferguson is no longer in intensive care following surgery on a brain haemorrhage, Manchester United have announced.
The 76-year-old successfully underwent an emergency operation on Saturday at Salford Royal Hospital, where he remains.
In a statement on Wednesday evening, United said: “Sir Alex Ferguson no longer needs intensive care and will continue rehabilitation as an inpatient.”
It added that Ferguson’s family have been “overwhelmed” by messages of support and encouragement since news broke over the weekend. “They continue to request privacy as this will be vital during this next stage of recovery.”
Ferguson is the most successful manager in Manchester United’s history, winning 13 Premier League titles and two European Cups alongside a host of other trophies during his 27 years in charge.
