Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was rushed to the hospital after falling ill prior to the Manchester United vs Liverpool match on Sunday. The 84-year-old, a frequent attendee at both home and away games, was at Old Trafford to watch the highly anticipated Premier League clash between the two rivals. During his 26-year tenure from 1986 to 2013, Ferguson led United to 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League victories.
He later served as the club's ambassador until 2025. Throughout his illustrious career, Ferguson secured 38 trophies with United, as well as three Scottish league titles and four Scottish Cups with Aberdeen. Ferguson also managed St Mirren and Scotland, including the 1986 World Cup, following a playing career as a forward where he finished as the top scorer in the Scottish Division One in 1965/66. Following Manchester United's 3-2 win over Liverpool, head coach Michael Carrick expressed his concern for his former boss: 'I haven't received any updates, so I'm not aware of the latest developments.
I was informed about the situation before the game, and all I can say is that I wish him the best. The news has affected me, and I hope he's alright. Although I don't have the latest information, we hope he's in good health and wish him all the best. Hopefully, the result will give him a boost when he hears about it.' No further updates on Ferguson's condition were provided on Monday.
