The announcement of the England football great's diagnosis comes two days after team-mate Nobby Stiles died after his own battle with the illness.

Former Manchester United captain Steve Bruce has described Sir Bobby Charlton as "exemplary" after the England World Cup winner was diagnosed with dementia.

The Telegraph said that Charlton's wife, Lady Norma, was happy for the 83-year-old United and England great's condition to be reported.

The newspaper said Lady Norma had given the breaking of the news her "blessing", with the announcement coming two days after his club and country team-mate Nobby Stiles died after his own battle with the illness.

A statement from the club read: "Everyone at Manchester United is saddened that this terrible disease has afflicted Sir Bobby Charlton and we continue to offer our love and support to Sir Bobby and his family."

The Football Association also tweeted its best wishes.
