Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has agreed to take part in a documentary detailing his life.

The 76-year-old, who is recovering from a brain haemorrhage suffered in May, has been working on the project for the past two years after being approached by independent film company Passion Pictures.

The documentary will be directed by son Jason Ferguson, who will make his feature directorial debut with the project, and will have exclusive and unrestricted access to the iconic coach as well as his family and closest friends.

"I have been approached many times over the years to make a film on my life but did not feel comfortable until this point," Ferguson told Deadline Hollywood.

"When the team behind this project was presented to me, and after we spent time discussing their thoughts and approach on what the film could be, I felt confident that I was in good hands.

"The process so far has been natural and enjoyable and I look forward to making the best film we can."

During 26 years with Man United, Ferguson lifted 13 Premier League titles, two Champions League trophies, five FA Cups, four EFL Cups and the European Cup Winners' Cup.
