MANCHESTER:

 Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been taken to ‌hospital after feeling unwell ahead of Sunday’s
Premier League match between United and Liverpool, media reported.

The 84-year-old had been at Old Trafford ⁠for the match between the two rivals. Sky Sports reported that Ferguson was conscious and had precautionary checks before being whisked away.

United led by 2-0 at the break, but Liverpool came back in the second half to level the score.

Ferguson managed United from 1986 until his retirement in 2013, winning 13 Premier ‌League ⁠titles and two Champions League trophies during a glittering 26-year spell at the club. He hoisted a total of 38 ⁠trophies with United.

A United spokesperson said the club was unable to comment on ⁠Ferguson’s status. Ferguson is a regular at United’s home games and has ⁠a row of seats in the Old Trafford directors’ box. - FMT
