Sir Alex Ferguson was rushed to hospital from Old Trafford this afternoon after becoming unwell at the stadium ahead of Manchester United's Premier League clash with Liverpool. The 84-year-old former United manager, who remains the most decorated boss in the club's history, had arrived at the ground for the highly anticipated fixture against the Reds. Medical staff transported Ferguson to hospital more than 60 minutes prior to kick-off. According to the Daily Mail, club sources have indicated the hospitalisation is purely precautionary, with officials expressing confidence that the legendary Scot will be recovering at home in the near future. TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say There is nothing to suggest this incident is connected to the brain haemorrhage Ferguson suffered in 2018. Ferguson's journey to Old Trafford today comes eight years after he faced a life-threatening medical emergency that nearly claimed his life. In May 2018, the Scot underwent emergency surgery following a sudden brain haemorrhage, with doctors giving him just a 20 per cent chance of survival. The 13-time Premier League winner spoke candidly about his brush with death in his 2021 documentary 'Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In'. "There were five brain haemorrhages that day," Ferguson recalled. "Three died. Two survived. You know you are lucky."
