Fergie’s good luck message

- BY SIMON MULLOCK

SIR ALEX FERGUSON may be well enough to send Manchester United’s players a good luck message ahead of the FA Cup Final.

The ex-united boss, 76, is still recovering in Salford Royal Hospital, a week after undergoing a life-saving operation after suffering a brain haemorrhag­e.

His health scare left Jose Mourinho’s players shocked and upset. But Fergie is out of intensive care now and undergoing rehabilita­tion as an in-patient. And the improvemen­t in his condition could enable him to send a message of support to Mourinho and his squad ahead of their Wembley showdown with Chelsea on Saturday. The FA Cup was the first of 38 trophies Fergie (above) lifted as United manager – his team beating Crystal Palace in a replay in 1990.
