Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was admitted to hospital after feeling unwell prior to the Manchester United vs Liverpool match on Sunday. The 84-year-old, who regularly attends the club's home and away games, was at Old Trafford to watch the highly anticipated Premier League clash between the two rival teams. During his 26-year tenure at United from 1986 to 2013, Ferguson led the team to 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League victories. He went on to serve as a club ambassador until 2025.
Throughout his illustrious career, Ferguson secured 38 trophies with United, in addition to three Scottish league titles and four Scottish Cups with Aberdeen. He also managed St Mirren and Scotland, including the 1986 World Cup, following a successful playing career as a forward that saw him become 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, stating: "I wish him the best. I'm very affected by the news, and I just hope he's alright. We hope for him to be in good shape and we wish him all the best." No further updates were provided on Ferguson's condition on Monday.
