SIR ALEX FERGUSON's family are likely to make an update on his condition today following emergency surgery last night for a brain haemorrhage.
The 76-year-old, who led Manchester United to 38 trophies in his 26 years in charge, was rushed to hospital after suffering a fall at home.
An ambulance was called to his house in Cheshire to take him to Macclesfield District General.
He was then taken under a police escort to be treated at the Salford Royal.
It's understood an update from Fergie's family or the hospital will come today.
A Manchester United statement said: "Sir Alex has undergone emergency surgery today for a brain haemorrhage. The procedure has gone very well but he needs a period of intensive care to optimise his recovery.
"His family request privacy in this matter."
His son Darren Ferguson missed Doncaster Rovers' final league game to be by his father's bedside.
A Doncaster statement said: "Darren Ferguson will not be at Saturday's game due to family reasons. Darren asks for privacy, and will provide an update through the club during the week."
Ferguson retired as United boss in May 2013 and was on the pitch at Old Trafford last Sunday.
