Ferguson, who won a record 13 Premier League titles during his tenure at Old Trafford, was taken ill after falling at home.
Earlier on Wednesday, current United manager Jose Mourinho said the club were "very positive" Ferguson would make a full recovery.
When asked whether the club thought Ferguson would make a swift recovery, Mourinho said: "Yeah, we are confident."
Ferguson's ill health prompted some of the most reputable figures in the game to offer their well-wishes.
