Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has spoken publicly for the first time since undergoing emergency surgery for a brain haemorrhage in May.
Ferguson retired as United manager in May 2013 after winning 38 trophies during 26 years in charge.
He last appeared publicly on April 29 at Old Trafford when he presented former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger with a commemorative trophy.
He however had emergency surgery on May 5 and was in intensive care for several days at Salford Royal Hospital.
The 76 year old Scot also thanked well wishers “for the support you have given me”.
“It has made me feel so humble, as have all the messages I have received from all over the world,” he added.
On Saturday 5 May, the football world was rocked by the news that Sir Alex Ferguson had undergone surgery for a brain haemorrhage.
Since then, the most successful manager in English football history has battled in a way only he knows how.
