Rarely has a man embodied a football club like Alex Ferguson.
Known in 1999 by Queen Elizabeth II, the British manager led Manchester United between 1986 and 2013. He gleaned no less than 37 trophies with the Red Devils, which has become an institution of world football.
But the Mancunian club shook when Ferguson, then 77, suffered a brain hemorrhage on May 5, 2018. Plunged into a coma after an operation, he thought he would never recover from his after-effects.
"It was terrifying, really terrifying"

On the occasion of the Glasgow Film Festival and the premiere of the documentary "Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In", the Scotsman participated in a remote Q&A with his son, Jason, director of the documentary .
“I lost my voice, I couldn't even say a word,” Ferguson recalled of the days after his recovery.
It was terrifying, really terrifying. ”
Remember your players to recover your memory
“So much was going through my mind,” said the Glasgow native.
Will I get my memory back?
Will I be able to speak again? "
Ferguson achieved this after 10 days of therapy.
He took part in exercises where he had to remember ... the players he trained at Manchester United.
They may not know it, but Ryan Giggs, Eric Cantona or Cristiano Ronaldo have likely played a role in the now more reassuring state of health of their former coach.
