Sir Alex Ferguson was taken to hospital after falling unwell at Old Trafford shortly before Manchester United's Premier League match with Liverpool on Sunday, according to reports from the BBC. Sources emphasised that the move was precautionary and not an emergency situation for the 84-year-old former Manchester United manager.
Precautionary Hospitalisation
Ferguson, who managed Manchester United for 27 years during a highly successful tenure, regularly watches the club's matches from the directors' box. No further details were provided regarding his condition following his admission to the hospital. The club has not released an official statement, but officials are optimistic that Ferguson will be fit enough to return home soon.
Previous Health Concerns
In 2018, Ferguson suffered a brain haemorrhage that left him seriously ill. He later spoke in detail about his recovery three years after the incident. On the day of the match, he was seen with guests at the stadium a couple of hours before kick-off before being taken away in an ambulance.
The match between Manchester United and Liverpool proceeded as scheduled, with fans and officials alike expressing their support for the legendary manager.
