Alex Ferguson hospitalised after falling unwell before Man United vs Liverpool clash
Alex Ferguson was taken to hospital as a precaution after falling unwell at Old Trafford shortly before Manchester United’s Premier League meeting with Liverpool on Sunday.
Sources indicated the move was not an emergency, with the 84-year-old receiving medical attention as a safety measure.
Taken ill before kick-off
Ferguson, who spent 27 years in charge of Manchester United, had been at the stadium earlier in the day and was seen with guests a few hours before kick-off. He typically watches matches from the directors’ box.
He was later transported from Old Trafford to hospital by ambulance after feeling unwell.
No immediate update on condition
No further update has been provided regarding his condition following admission. However, club officials are understood to be optimistic that he will recover quickly and return home soon.
Previous health concerns
Ferguson previously suffered a brain haemorrhage in 2018, a serious health issue he later discussed publicly during his recovery.
The development comes ahead of one of the Premier League’s biggest fixtures, although the situation is not believed to be critical.
