He said something years ago that has always made me a bit concerned for his wellbeing once he retired about how he was too old to retire. In a similar way that people who have smoked for 60 years are probably going to do themselves more harm than good by quitting.
I hope he is on the mend, one of the genuine last giants of the game.
You only have to see the amount of clubs and players who've tweeted about him to show what his names means in the football world. Hope he gets through it.
Took over Utd just before I became a teenager, a huge presence in football ever since. Proper legend and the most successful domestic manager ever. Get well soon.

Long road back, even if all goes well.
Best wishes Sir Alex
Best wishes to Sir Alex and his family.
He is the only manager in my view who achieved great things both in the modern game and also against the likes of Clough and for Aberdeen.
Unique in my view.
