Horrible news 
Fergie's the biggest fighter i've seen in my lifetime. Hopefully he will pull through. Stay strong boss.

First time I've ever felt genuinely emotional about a public figure not being well. The man is an absolute one off. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.
Jesus, hadn't seen the news and just saw the vannba, get well soon gaffer
We're all as one in wishing you a speedy recovery Sir Alex.
Really really don't want to even think about that
I've never met Sir Alex, but i'm not in the slightest ready to deal with losing him. He's a legend and a massive inspiration to so many
Best wishes to Fergie, hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.
heartwarming that other clubs and other fans are saying such nice things.
Come on SAF pull through this.

Don't say it. He'll be Ok. He'll surely be Ok, right ?
Its' only a hemorrhage of the brain (I say "only" because he is obviously receiving the best medical care on the planet at the moment). The chances of him recovering are probably over 80%, its' just that the recovery will take a few months and perhaps he won't be as active as he used to be.
Get well soon, Sir Alex. You'll pull through
Feck My stomach nearly dropped learning this news
Pull through it boss, born fighter.

Just for context; The thing Van der Sar is referring to is what happened to his wife while VdS was still at United.

Utterly worried hoping for a good outcome.
This is horrible news.
Praying you pull through and in turn becoming stronger. Stay strong boss!

The classiest statement came from Liverpool of all clubs though. The club statement I mean. Much respect.
I know guys, it's such a horrible shock it's hard to deal with.Really really don't want to even think about that

We will all feel like we've lost a grandfather, even though most of us were never lucky enough to know him.
Let's hope we get some positive news.
Hope he gets better soon! Best wishes to Fergie
I'm so sad and nervous right now.
Let's hope so.
Pretty sure VDS is referring to his wife, who suffered one back in 2010 IIRC.
I am struggling with this, but I cannot keep from refreshing the page. The totally deserved tweets from all walks of football life make it a tad easier, but only a tad.
Anybody else feel anxious while waiting for recovery news?
Feck, just logged on and read the news. Awful.Feel absolutely sick to my stomach. Without this man, my journey into football wouldn’t be what it was. From that first cup win in 1990, till the end of his career, I was privileged to watch a collection of great sides, all of which he forged.
I wasn’t a red because of him, but because of him, being one has been an experience beyond all expectations. I owe him so much. Just hope he pulls through.

Nah, he’s referring to his wife. She suffered a haemorrhage herself while VdS was at United.
He'll be fine, He's Fergie.
I think we both hit ‘Post’ at the exact same time.
Van Der Sar's wife had the same thing didn't she? just reading his tweet
Get well soon Fergie. You will be alive to see us get back on top, winning European trophies and Championships.
Nah, not today Satan and certainly not him.
He better be fine.
He better be fine.
Get well soon, boss. If anyone can get through this it's him, absolutely no doubt about that.
Gutting news. Glad to see the world of football by his side. Hoping for a swift recovery.
Oh no.
He was given some time off in 2010 to be with his familly. That was the period when Foster was in goal.
Please no. Get well SAF.
Get well SAF.As stated by others, the fact that he underwent surgery at all is a positive sign. Devastating news, but the man is a fighter.
I haven't spoken or been able to do anything since hearing this news. I feel absolutely stunned especially when thinking to myself last weekend that he looked 20 years younger since he left United and looked the best out of Mourinho and Wenger.
I literally don't know what else to say but I hope he pulls through, I can't imagine the club without him even If he's not our manager

Hope old man is doing alright. Best wishes and prayers for SAF.
I've been an United fan for 22, 23 years. All those years he has practically been a part of my life, just like Manchester is like a 2nd city to me although I've been there only once.
I feel like I know him although I never met him.
I'm in cold sweat since I heard about the news.

It’s weird to think that someone you might have met but didn’t know could have such an impact on your life. I feel sick to my stomach with this news. The man is a true legend and idol.
