Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has spoken about being "terrified" during a brain haemorrhage he suffered, in an interview with BBC Breakfast conducted as he approaches his 85th birthday.
Ferguson, who led Manchester United to numerous domestic and European trophies during his long tenure as manager, also described his recent return to the club in positive terms, calling it "fantastic."
The interview offered a rare personal account from the veteran manager about the health emergency, which required hospital treatment, as well as his subsequent recovery and reconnection with the club where he built much of his managerial legacy.
Ferguson remains one of the most decorated managers in the history of English football, and his comments are likely to draw wide attention from supporters who have followed his health and his continued connection to Manchester United since his retirement from management.
