No timescale is being put on Ferguson's likely absence but it would require a rapid recovery from the 71-year-old in order for him to be back in the dug-out by then.Other than that though, he has remained in bullish mood and on Friday poured champagne for journalists attending his press conference at United's Carrington training ground in recognition of a 13th Premier League title.Ferguson has always said his health would dictate how long he would carry on as United manager.Sir Alex Ferguson is to have a hip operation that could see him miss the start of next season.He was taken ill at a function in his native Scotland almost 12 months ago, although his nosebleeds were put down to the amount of short flights he had undertaken.Manchester United have privately confirmed reports that Ferguson is booked in for surgery immediately after the club return from their three-week pre-season tour at the end of July.Ferguson subsequently missed pre-season matches in Norway and Germany and also sat out a mid-winter break in Qatar.
