DARREN FERGUSON has thanked the public for their messages of support as his father Sir Alex recovers in hospital.
The Manchester United and Aberdeen legend suffered a brain haemorrhage last weekend and has undergone emergency surgery.
The 76-year-old is now out of intensive care and continuing to receive treatment.
Darren, manager of Doncaster Rovers, said: “On behalf of myself and my family, I would like to thank the huge number of people who have been kind enough to send messages of support during a difficult time.
“It has been overwhelming to read how many people care and that they are thinking of my dad and willing his recovery.
“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the staff at Macclesfield Hospital and at the Salford Royal who have been truly magnificent. We continue to request privacy during this vital period of recovery.”
