FERGIE HAS PACEMAKER FITTED

Manchester United have today revealed that manager Sir Alex Ferguson has had a pacemaker fitted.

The operation was carried out last week and Ferguson returned to work the following day.

"I want to reassure fans that everything is okay, I feel fine," said the 62-year-old Scot, whose side face Manchester City at Eastlands on Sunday.

"It was an option for me to get this done. The club knew about it and I feel great, so its business as usual."

It is the second time this season that fans have been given cause to worry about their manager, who appears to be going through one of the most stressful periods of his career. It was revealed in December that he had been admitted to hospital to have a heart irregularity corrected.

Fergie insisted that the recent routine 90-minute operation would not get in his way or stop him from doing his job.

"I enjoy the work I do and it will continue," he said.
