MANCHESTER, England—Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was in intensive care after emergency surgery for a brain hemorrhage on Saturday amid an outpouring of affection and get-well messages from across football. The most successful manager in British football history, Ferguson has appeared in good health since ending his intense direct involvement in coaching. “Absolutely devastated to hear about Sir Alex being unwell in hospital,” tweeted United captain Michael Carrick, who played under Ferguson.
