In the video, Sir Alex said: “Hello, just a quick message first of all to thank the medical staff at Macclesfield, Salford Royal and Alexandra hospitals. Believe me, without those people who gave me such great care, I would not be sitting here today.
“So thank you from me and my family. Thank you very much.
“It has made me feel so humble as (have) all the messages I’ve had from all over the world wishing me the best – and the good wishes to resonate very, very strongly with me. So thank you for that support you’ve given me.”
He adds he will be back “later in the season” to watch Man United play, adding: “All the best to Jose and the players.”
