Ferguson
said were among the worst he had seen.
Manchester United midfielder Alan Smith today said "Im on the road to recovery" after he suffered a horrific injury, which saw the England star break his leg and dislocate his ankle. Smith, speaking to The Sun said "I felt my leg go from under me as I went to block a free kick, when I looked down my leg was lying one way and my ankle pointing towards Hong Kong, so quickly I knew I was in serious trouble. The doctors have been positive and my operation was thankfully a success".
United manager Alex Ferguson has shown great delight in the courage that Alan Smith has shown throughout his ordeal. "It was a terrible injury but there are a lot of things in Alan's favor, particularly his courage and his age" Ferguson added.
