In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
This is the only United news I've wanted to hear this pre-season. Beyond happy!
I'm 54 and feel pretty much the same way. Amid all the hype and bollocks and filthy lucre of the Premiership, he understood what football means to people. Illness can feck off. You're not taking down this titan just yet.
What a man.

I wish we could travel back in time and appreciate those years more. We all took it for granted

Such a relief to see him talking. He looks quite healthy too, looks like he has lost some weight and I don't remember the last time his nose wasn't red.
Just brilliant seeing him looking and sounding healthy. He's going to get one hell of a reception next time he goes to a game.There's only ever going to be one manager like him. Glad I witnessed those years. So many good memories. True Legend.
I would pay any amount of money to be at the game he comes back for. He deserves 90 minutes of non-stop singing his name
To say he's a legend is understatement. He's looking good and healthy. Never met him but he feels like a Family to me.
SAF god I miss him
god I miss himStill can't hear a word he says. He looks great, think he still has long ways to go
Almost brings a tear to my eye a timely reminder from the great man himself .
The biggest football club in the world was led by the greatest manager of all time .
Now come on boys make us proud again do it for Fergie

What a way to brighten up your day. There should be way more pages than this for the great man, get out of the transfer forum for a few moments, we're Manchester United not Signchester United.
Amazing to watch.
Really made my day.
I've met him once and he's an incredible guy. Such an aura about him.

It didn't look or sound like He had a brain hemorrhage at all.
He's already looking forward for next season, what a legend.

Fergie you legend

Get well Sir Alex!
And if you find retirement boring and you want to get back to football management, we the fans will be ecstatic, haha!

Over the moon! Great to see him back out and about.
Sir Alex
What a legend! Glad you're okay boss!
Looking good. No doubt about his fighting spirit that's for sure. Stay well boss.
He's a warrior. Keep the faith!
I'd literally cry if I see shots of him in the stand this season. Please don't push yourself too hard Sir Alex!
Is it weird that I had tears well up watching this? The man has been one of my personal inspirations in life, a role model for keeping strong in the face of any troubles. It's so good to see him recovering well. And at the same time he's a bit thinner than I recall in some years. Godspeed with a full recovery Sir Alex.
He cheered millions, perhaps billions of people around the world. Those who support united through his era has been celebrating football for many many years and we are lucky to have him. United won't have billions of fans without his success and he really is a father figure to everyone who supports this club.
I'm emotional too, I was there Sir Alex, I witnessed your greatness and I'm glad you're back!
He looks good, hopefully he is completely recovered and enjoys his retirement
It is not weird at all, just hearing his voice made me get goosebumps. It is a human emotional psychologically cognitive response to feel an array of emotions.
Glad to hear the man is doing well. Long may it continue!
Great to see SAF doing better !
This video has taken me back to that first title win under Sir Alex.
I remember starting the party on the night of the Villa game. Of all the cities in the world to be in I was visiting mates in Leeds. Well a group of us basically took over a corner of the pub and celebrated winning the title in style.
It was a bank holiday weekend with United playing at Home on the Monday against Blackburn. Even though I had spent the whole of a weekend partying and enjoying the win, it wasn't until I saw the footage on sky of Sir Matt Busby in the crowd that it really hit home.
The joy and relief on his face just broke me and I dissolved into tears. He had finally seen his great club get back onto the top tier in England. Sadly he was not there to see us take our place back in the top tier of Europe in 1999.
This team and our fans owe it to Sir Alex to bring the title back to Old Trafford so that he knows we are back on track once more.
He has shown the fight necessary, time and again.
Time for the club, players and fans to follow his lead.

I don't think the older fans took him/it all for granted, we knew how special it was. Maybe a few younger fans thought it would be like that all the time. But us old boys knew we would be in big trouble when the big man finally left.
All I've ever known about football and all I have learnt and enjoyed, is down to one man, Sir Alex, what a guy a man mountain of a character. He's Manchester United and thank to all the staff at the hospital to getting this great man back on his feet again.
Can’t wait to see him in the stands again
As I said in the favourite season thread, I only started supporting United in 2008-09 as a youngster. And despite us winning trophies in 2 of the 4 seasons so far in life after Fergie, the 5 seasons from 2008-2013 under Fergie were still the best years footballing wise in my time as a Football and United fan. The excitement leading up to every game was insane.
Thank You God for helping Sir Alex through this. Welcome back Mr Manchester United.

Best news of the summer so far! When he fell ill I was shocked how much it upset me, possibly more than some relatives being ill. You forget how much of a constant he has been for so long for so many of us and almost took his invincibility for granted!
He looks in remarkable shape when you consider the stats for recovery from what happened to him, they made sober reading at the time so to see him clearly recovering is fantastic.

Praying for him
Just a heads up - a Scottish politician Sir Alex Fergusson (also knighted) passed away today so don't give yourself a fright when you see any clickbait titles around the web.
I already fell for one on another forum and got an enormous fright when I read the title.

Absolutely delighted to hear him sounding so coherent and talking so positively.
Back again. Video message from Scholesy charity dinner.
No question about that? Where's the "Nooo doot aboo tha"gone?
Someone clearly had a word
Great to see the man. Always hoped he would be the one presenting the league trophy to United and Mourinho. Would just be so perfect and emotive.
Plus, it would boil serious piss among our rivals
He looks much better in that. Excellent news.
