Ferguson back at Man United after scare

Former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson returns to Old Trafford on Sunday (AEST) for the first time since undergoing emergency brain surgery in May.

The 76-year-old will attend United's Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers and the club said it plans to "honour Sir Alex's return" before kick-off.

"It's obviously been a long journey but I'm making steps forward, doing what my son tells me and what the doctors tell me," Ferguson told MUTV.

"It was a long time but it's great to be back and I just hope we get a win."

Ferguson spent several days in intensive care after surgery for a brain haemorrhage on May 5 and has been recovering at home since his release from hospital.
