Man Utd’s Manuel Ugarte in doubt to face Brentford after suffering knock vs Ecuador
The nature of his injury remains unclear, but it raises concerns over his availability for Saturday’s clash at Old Trafford.
Former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson is reportedly out of a coma and is recovering well from surgery for a brain haemorrhage and has even started communicating verbally.
As per a report in the Daily Mail, the 76-year-old has spoken to family and friends at the Salford Royal Hospital, where he got successfully operated upon on Saturday night, and is now expected to make a full recovery.
Britain’s most successful manager, Ferguson’s last public appearance came on April 29 when the Red Devils hosted arch-rivals Arsenal for a Premier League clash.
