Manchester United’s legendary manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, was transported to the hospital on Sunday, shortly before his beloved club’s Premier League clash with Liverpool, which they won 3-2.
However, it is understood that there is no emergency involved, with British media reporting it as a precautionary measure. The 84-year-old reportedly felt unwell and was taken away from the Old Trafford tunnel area in an ambulance.
No further information was immediately available regarding his current health status, but club representatives expressed optimism that Ferguson could return home soon, as reported by the BBC, for instance.
Ferguson typically watches Manchester United’s home games from the VIP box. He had been seen in the stadium with guests before the kick-off. Cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra also published a photo with Ferguson at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Carrick Hopes for Ferguson’s Speedy Recovery
‘I wish him all the very best,’ said United’s team manager, Michael Carrick, following his Red Devils’ victory. ‘Hopefully, the result will give him a good boost when he hears about it.’ Matheus Cunha (6th minute) and Benjamin Sesko (14th minute) had put Manchester in the lead against their rivals. After Liverpool equalized through goals from Dominik Szoboszlai (47th minute) and Cody Gakpo (56th minute), Kobbie Mainoo secured the win for Manchester and their place in the Champions League (77th minute).
Ferguson suffered a brain hemorrhage in 2018 and was critically ill at the time. The Scot profoundly shaped Manchester United over 27 years, winning numerous national and international titles during his tenure, including 13 league championships and two Champions League trophies.
