Ferguson taken to hospital for checks
LONDON: Manchester United great Alex Ferguson was taken to hospital on Sunday after feeling unwell ahead of his former team’s Premier League match against Liverpool FC.
The 84-year-old, who was at Old Trafford for the fixture, left before kickoff. Host broadcaster Sky Sports reported that Ferguson was “conscious” and undergoing “precautionary checks.”
The BBC said the situation was not considered an emergency.
Ferguson suffered a brain haemorrhage in 2018 and underwent emergency surgery before making a recovery.
Ferguson won 13 Premier League titles with United and two Champions Leagues during a trophy-laden 26-and-a-half years at the club. In total he won 28 major titles with United.
He retired in 2013 having won the last of his 13 league titles.
