MESSAGES FROM WELL-WISHERS

● Ryan Giggs: “Now is the time to pray and hope he can make a full recovery. He has been the biggest influence in my career, both on and off the pitch. I know the operation has been a success – but he is a fighter and that is what makes me think that he will be able to make a recovery.” ● Arsène Wenger: “I was with him on the pitch last week and I went to see him in the box after the game. He looked in a perfect shape. He told me he is doing a lot of exercise, he looked very happy. That kind of accident can happen. We wish him well and that he recovers very quickly. He is a strong and optimistic man.” ● David Beckham: “Keep fighting Boss. ” ● Cristiano Ronaldo: “My thoughts and prayers are with you, my dear friend.” ● Wayne Rooney: “Get well soon Boss.” ● Brian Kidd: “You think Sir Alex is really indestructible. What he did for Manchester United was unreal and the pressure he was under every day to produce – it’s phenomenal.”
