Sir Alex Ferguson was taken to hospital after feeling unwell at Old Trafford ahead of Manchester United ’s Premier League match with Liverpool .
The Sun, meanwhile, suggest that he was first attended to by medics in the Stretford End tunnel before being taken to an ambulance and checked over inside the vehicle, where he was sat up.
Manchester United declined to comment when approached by The Independent, but Ferguson is thought to be okay and recovering from the incident.
The Scot retired in 2013 after 27 years as manager.
In May 2018, he underwent life-saving surgery after suffering a brain haemorrhage, with doctors giving him a 20 per cent chance of survival.
Speaking about the brain haemorrhage in his 2021 documentary Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In , he said: “There were five brain haemorrhages that day.
Three died.
Two survived.
You know you are lucky.”
Ferguson’s paid ambassadorial role was ended in 2024 by minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe , though he remains a regular attendee of games in the directors’ box at Old Trafford.
