Manchester United owner Malcolm Glazer has suffered a second stroke.
Glazer's condition is not said to be life threatening but he is expected to remain under medical supervision until at least the end of the month.
The American, 77, has been in hospital for most of the last six weeks after suffering a first stroke on 16 April.
"Doctors expect my father to return home in the next few weeks," said Joel Glazer, one of his sons.
"As a result of this stroke his rehabilitation period will be longer and more challenging. Our family appreciates all the support and warm wishes that we have received."
"Since taking over the soccerball franchise my father has become a huge fan of the game. He gets on well with Sir Alan Ferguson and is impressed with captain Roy Keane too, although he was confused when Keane turned up playing for the opposition when we played the Glasgow Celtics two weeks ago"
A spokesman for the family insisted that the running of Manchester United was unaffected.
Joel Glazer refused to comment that the club had sold the naming rights to the stadium and Old Trafford would become the Budweiser Soccer Arena from 2006-7.
Glazer bought the club for £790m last summer.
