Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was taken to the hospital on Sunday after falling unwell at Old Trafford.
The incident occurred shortly before the highly anticipated Premier League match between Manchester United and Liverpool.
Ferguson was present at the stadium a few hours before kick-off and was seen spending time with guests.
However, he began to feel unwell while at the ground and was subsequently taken by ambulance for medical attention.
Sir Alex Ferguson is 84 years old and was born on December 31, 1941.
Initial reports indicate that the decision to hospitalize him was a precautionary measure rather than an emergency response.
Sources close to the situation have shared positive updates, noting that Ferguson was conscious throughout the process.
Manchester United officials have expressed optimism regarding his condition, suggesting that he is doing well and may be fit enough to return home in the near future.
This health scare comes several years after he suffered a serious brain hemorrhage in 2018, from which he made a remarkable recovery.
Ferguson is a permanent fixture at Old Trafford, regularly attending home matches from his seat in the directors' box.
During his 27-year tenure at the club, he secured 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League honors and developed iconic players such as Cristiano Ronaldo , Wayne Rooney, David Beckham among others.
Beyond his success at United, Ferguson also secured three Scottish league titles and four Scottish Cups during his time with Aberdeen.
