Sir Alex Ferguson was a famous football manager. In 2018, he had bleeding in his brain. Doctors did an emergency operation. After it, he could not speak. That was a frightening moment, he says.
A therapist helped him. She asked him to write the names of birds, animals and rivers. Slowly, his voice came back. Doctors gave him only a small chance of living. Four months later, he went back to Manchester United's stadium. He was very scared. But the fans stood up and welcomed him.
Ferguson was United's manager for 26 years and won 38 trophies. Now he is 84 years old. He says he feels quite good. He still watches many United games. He told his story because he has a new book about his life in football.
