MANCHESTER, England (AP) --- Manchester United great Alex Ferguson was taken to
the hospital after feeling unwell ahead of his former team's Premier League
game against Liverpool on Sunday.
The iconic former United manager was at Old Trafford for the match, but left
before kickoff.
A person with knowledge of the situation said the 84-year-old Ferguson was
taken to the hospital as a precaution and was "OK." The person spoke on
condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
United coach Michael Carrick was unable to offer updates after the match, which
his team won 3-2.
"I did hear about it before the game," Carrick said. "I was very affected by
it, the news. I just don't know the latest, but we hope for him to be in good
shape and we wish him all the best and certainly hope the result, when he hears
about it, can give him a good boost."
In 2018 Ferguson suffered a brain hemorrhage and underwent emergency surgery,
before making a recovery.
Ferguson frequently attends home matches and was pictured on social media at
the stadium earlier in the day.
Ferguson won 13 Premier League titles with United and two Champions Leagues
during a trophy-laden 26-and-a-half years at the club. In total he won 28 major
titles with United.
He retired in 2013 having won the last of his 13 league titles.
