Alex Ferguson was hospitalized after feeling unwell at Old Trafford early Tuesday, just before the critical Manchester United vs Liverpool match. He was taken to the hospital more than an hour before kick-off.
Ferguson, who is 84 years old, went to the hospital as a precaution. Sources indicate that it is not believed to be serious. He has since returned home to recover.
Ferguson’s health has been a concern since he suffered a brain haemorrhage in May 2018. He made a full recovery and returned to Old Trafford in September of that year.
The upcoming match is significant for both teams. Manchester United currently sits in third place in the Premier League, three points ahead of Liverpool. This match could impact their standings as they vie for European qualification.
Key facts about Ferguson:
- Managed Manchester United from 1986 to 2013
- Won 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League titles
- Served as club ambassador for 12 years after retirement
Michael Carrick may have to navigate this crucial match without Ferguson’s presence on the sidelines. Fans and officials are expressing their best wishes for his swift recovery.
