Robson shocked by news of Ferguson's brain haemorrhage

Bryan Robson, Manchester United captain under Alex Ferguson, is hoping his old manager makes a full recovery from emergency surgery.

Former Manchester United captain Bryan Robson is the latest to pay tribute to Alex Ferguson as he recovers from a brain haemorrhage.

The 76-year-old is recovering in Salford Royal hospital after undergoing emergency surgery on Saturday.

Messages of support have been sent from across the football world, including from former United stars Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, David Beckham and Rio Ferdinand and clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester City and Barcelona.

Robson admits the news came as a shock, with his old United manager having looked in good health and spirits last Sunday, when he led a special presentation at Old Trafford to honour Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger's career.
