SIR Alex Ferguson says he is always thinking of his younger brother Martin, who is living with dementia.

The legendary Man United manager now supports the dementia charity Playlist For Life, which uses music to support people with the condition.

Opening up in an emotional interview on BBC Breakfast, Sir Alex, 83, said Martin's situation was "not easy".

He added: "He recognises me, you know, but the memory is not great and it's in the back of my mind all the time. I wonder if he's in just now, whether, I guess, you give him a phone call and that.
