Fighter Robson can recover - Ferguson
Sir Alex Ferguson is confident former Manchester United skipper Bryan Robson will win his battle against throat cancer.
United confirmed on Wednesday that Robson had been forced to undergo surgery in Bangkok earlier this month.
Although the problem is not serious enough to prevent him continuing in his twin role as Thailand national team boss and United's Far East ambassador, the 54-year-old will require further treatment.
Ferguson spoke to Robson on Wednesday and was heartened by the typically bullish approach the man dubbed 'Captain Marvel' by Sir Bobby Robson was taking against the situation.
"We got the news about Bryan yesterday and I have been in touch with him," said Ferguson.
"He is positive. That is the important thing. We are all supportive of him because he is such a fantastic man. He has always been a fighter and he will be all right. I am sure of that."
