Sir Alex Ferguson was taken into an ambulance at Old Trafford before Manchester United's Premier League clash with Liverpool on Sunday afternoon. The legendary former manager, aged 84, began feeling unwell shortly before kick-off.
Medical attention at the stadium
According to reports, Ferguson was initially assessed by medical staff in the Stretford End tunnel. He was then moved to an ambulance for further checks, where he was reported to be 'okay'. It is believed he left the stadium shortly after and returned home.
Previous health concerns
This is not the first health scare for the Scottish football icon. In 2018, he underwent emergency surgery for a brain haemorrhage. However, sources indicate that Sunday's incident was unrelated to that previous condition. In his 2021 documentary 'Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In', he reflected on his 2018 ordeal, stating: "There were five brain haemorrhages that day. Three died. Two survived. You know you are lucky."
A legendary career
Ferguson managed Manchester United from 1986 until his retirement in 2013. During his tenure, he led the club to 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, four League Cups, and two Champions League triumphs. He remains a prominent figure at the club, frequently attending both home and away matches to support his former team.
