A big scare for Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford. As reported by Daily Mailthe legendary former Manchester United manager, aged 84, was taken to hospital this afternoon after feeling faint inside the stadium. Ferguson went to Old Trafford as he does regularly, faithful to his habit of attending his club’s lifelong matches, for what was shaping up to be one of the most anticipated clashes of the season in the Premier League against Liverpool.

It was more than an hour before kick-off that he had to be taken into care and evacuated to a care facility. Nothing to be alarmed about, according to initial information. The hospitalization of the most successful coach in the history of Manchester United would be a simple precautionary measure, and his return home would be expected soon. As a reminder, Ferguson had already come close to the worst in 2018 after a brain hemorrhage from which he took several months to recover.
