Former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson was taken to the hospital shortly before the much-anticipated Premier League clash with Liverpool. Reports indicate that the 84-year-old began to feel unwell at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, prompting medical staff to admit him as a precautionary measure.
Despite the urgency of the situation, sources report that Ferguson’s condition is not considered serious. The incident occurred less than an hour before the kickoff of the marquee fixture, where Manchester United was set to host Liverpool.
Ferguson, who managed Manchester United from 1986 to 2013, is renowned as one of the most successful coaches in football history. He secured a remarkable 38 trophies during his tenure, including 13 Premier League titles, which elevated the Red Devils to global prominence.
Since his retirement, Ferguson has frequently attended matches and continues to be an influential figure in the club’s rich history.
