Positive News From Sir Alex Ferguson After Brain Surgery

Sir Alex Ferguson is awake and talking after undergoing emergency brain surgery.

The Sun reports friends of the legendary Manchester United boss, 76, have claimed he is “sitting up talking and asking about his results" - although there was no confirmation from the club and his family.

The ex-Aberdeen and Scotland manager has been in intensive care after collapsing at his Cheshire home two days ago.

He underwent emergency brain surgery and was placed in an induced coma following the shock brain haemorrhage.

Sir Alex, who won a record 13 Premier League titles with Manchester United, was said last night to be “doing well" in Salford Royal Hospital.

A source said: “The prognosis is good and his closest friends in football are being kept abreast of any developments."
