Sir Alex Ferguson taken to hospital before Manchester United v Liverpool match

The 84-year-old was treated by medics at the stadium and taken to hospital by ambulance as a precaution, officials said.

  • Sir Alex Ferguson was taken to the hospital after feeling unwell at Old Trafford ahead of Manchester United's Premier League match against Liverpool.
  • The 84-year-old led Manchester United for 27 years, winning 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League trophies before retiring in 2013.
  • Medics treated Ferguson in the Stretford End tunnel before he was transported by ambulance, where he was reported to be "okay."
  • United officials remain optimistic Ferguson will soon recuperate at home, treating the hospital visit as a precautionary measure rather than an emergency.
  • Minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe ended Ferguson's paid ambassadorial role in 2024 as part of cost-cutting measures, though Ferguson remains a regular match attendee.
