Sir Alex Ferguson managed Manchester United between 1986 and 2013
Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson had emergency surgery on Saturday for a brain haemorrhage.
A United statement said the procedure "had gone very well" but Ferguson "needs a period of intensive care to optimise his recovery".
The Scot, 76, retired as United manager in May 2013 after winning 38 trophies during 26 years in charge.
He was at Old Trafford last Sunday when he presented Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger with a commemorative trophy.
Ferguson's family have requested privacy as he recovers in Salford Royal Hospital.
"We will keep Sir Alex and his loved ones in our thoughts during this time, and we are united in our wish to see him make a comfortable, speedy recovery," United later said in a tweet.
The most successful manager in the history of the British game, Ferguson's trophy haul at Old Trafford included 13 Premier League titles, two Champions League crowns, five FA Cups and four League Cups.
Ferguson famously won the Treble of Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in 1999, the year in which he was knighted.
United's club captain Michael Carrick said he was "devastated" to learn his former manager had needed emergency surgery.
"All my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. Be strong boss," he wrote on Twitter.
Ferguson has been married to wife Cathy since 1966. His son Darren manages Doncaster Rovers but did not not take charge of their League One match against Wigan on Saturday.

Ferguson began his playing career with Scottish club Queen's Park as a 16-year-old striker whilst working as an apprentice tool-worker at Clyde Shipyards.
His most notable spell as a player came in a two-year stint at Rangers from 1967. He retired as a player in 1974 when he was on Ayr United's books.
He began his managerial career as a 32-year-old at East Stirlingshire before going to St Mirren, where he won his first trophy by taking the Scottish first division title in 1977.
Ferguson moved on to Aberdeen and turned them into a major force in a Scottish top division in which Rangers and Celtic had dominated.
He led them to three Scottish titles, four Scottish FA Cups, one League Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1983 by beating Real Madrid 2-1 in the final.

Ferguson managed Scotland in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico following the death of Jock Stein, although he was unable to take his country past the group stage.
He became Manchester United manager later that year.
United celebrated their first Premier League triumph under Ferguson in 1993, the club's first league title for 26 years.
Willie Miller, who served as Aberdeen captain under Ferguson, said he was "staggered" to hear the news.
"My thoughts are with the boss, Cathy and the boys. Hoping the great man does what he does best and wins this challenge," he added.
Everton manager Sam Allardyce said: "I hope he's in good hands and I hope the operation is a major success. As a personal friend, I hope he has a full recovery."
