One Old Trafford veteran revealed: “Sir Alex was nowhere to be seen and the word was he has agreed to the message from the medics – that is not to start overdoing things.
“They were concerned after seeing him on TV footage at the games – they then realised that he had been at three matches in just nine days including the lengthy trip to Southampton.
“We have been told Sir Alex took the advice on the chin and in his own inimitable style reluctantly agreed to it!
“He has done remarkably well in getting back to good health when things were really looking bleak – but even an old stubborn guy like him realises you have to listen when told what is good for you.”
