"First of all, I would like to thank the medical team and staff at Macclesfield, Salford Royal and Alexandra hospitals.
Believe me, if it weren't for these people who have done their best to save me, I probably wouldn't be sitting here talking to you. So, thank you very much!" - Sir Alex began.
"I have received so many messages from all over the world, wishing me a speedy recovery, hoping to overcome this serious illness... I don't know what else to say, I just want to thank those who have always followed and supported me.
Finally, I would like to say that I will return to watch my beloved MU play this season. I also send my best wishes to Mourinho and the players. Thank you very much everyone."
