Sir Alex Ferguson battles for life in intensive care after suffering a brain haemorrhage

 

 

SIR Alex Ferguson is fighting for life after undergoing emergency surgery for a brain haemorrhage.

The 76-year-old former Manchester United boss was said to be in an “extremely serious” condition after being rushed to hospital following a seizure at his home.

It is understood Fergie complained of feeling unwell at his home in Wilmslow, Gtr Manche­ster, on Thursday before an ambulance was called at 9am yesterday.

He was then transferred under police escort to Salford Royal Hospital.

Wife Cathy, who he wed in 1966, and his sons Mark, Darren and Jason were thought to be at his hospital bedside after he was put into an induced coma.

A source said: “Sir Alex is in an extremely serious condition and his family are extremely worried. This is a desperate time for them and they are praying he pulls through.

Last night United said in a statement: “Sir Alex Ferguson has undergone emergency surgery for a brain haemorrhage. The procedure has gone very well but he needs a period of intensive care to optimise his recovery.”

The illness comes less than a week after Sir Alex lapped up the adulation of 75,000 Old Trafford fans.
