Former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is undergoing intensive care in hospital after a brain haemorrhage.
An ambulance was called to his home in Cheshire at about 9am (local time) as he was taken to hospital with a police escort.
The 76-year-old had emergency surgery on Saturday for the brain haemorrhage.
"Sir Alex Ferguson has undergone surgery today for a brain haemorrhage. The procedure has gone very well but he needs a period of intensive care to aid his recovery. His family request privacy in this matter. Everyone at Manchester United sends our very best wishes," the team shared on Twitter.
The Scotsman managed Manchester United between 1986-2013. During his 26 years with the club, he won 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups and two Champions League crowns.
"I’ve never met Sir Alex Ferguson, but the impact and influence he’s had on my life is enormous. As is true for football fans everywhere. Here’s hoping there’s plenty of Fergie time left," football fan Sam Homewood wrote.
"The thoughts of everyone at the Premier League are with Sir Alex Ferguson and his family following news that he underwent emergency surgery today," wrote the Premier League.
His son, Doncaster manager Darren Ferguson had to miss out on his side's final fixture of the League One campaign on Saturday due to a "severe family issue."
