Sir Alex Ferguson was taken to hospital after feeling unwell ahead of Manchester United vs Liverpool on Sunday. <\/p>\n

The 84-year-old legendary United boss, who is a regular at the club’s games both home and away, had been at Old Trafford to watch the big Premier League match between the two rivals.<\/p>\n

Sky Sports News understands he is conscious and has had precautionary checks.<\/p>\n

Ferguson led United to 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League triumphs during his 26 years in charge of the club from 1986 to his retirement in 2013.<\/p>\n

He then served as an ambassador for the club until 2025.<\/p>\n

In his illustrious career, he claimed 38 trophies with United, as well as three Scottish league titles and four Scottish Cups with Aberdeen.<\/p>\n

Ferguson also managed St Mirren and Scotland, including at the 1986 World Cup, following a playing career as a forward which saw him finish top scorer in the Scottish Division One in 1965\/66.<\/p>\n

Carrick hopes win boosts Sir Alex<\/p>\n

Man Utd head coach Michael Carrick when asked about his former boss following the 3-2 win over Liverpool<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Well, I haven’t got any update so I don’t know the latest as we stand now. I did hear about it before the game, so I was aware of it before the game.<\/p>\n

“All I can say is I wish him the best. I’m very affected by it, the news, and I just hope he’s alright. I just don’t know the latest, but we hope for him to be in good shape and we wish him all the best.<\/p>\n

“We certainly think that hopefully the result, when he hears about it, can give him a boost.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sir Alex Ferguson was taken to hospital after feeling unwell ahead of Manchester United vs Liverpool on Sunday.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":621487,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-621486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=621486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621486\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/621487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=621486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=621486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=621486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
