  "textContent": "MANCHESTER: Sir Alex Ferguson was taken to hospital ahead of the Manchester United vs Liverpool match after he reportedly felt unwell before the game.\n\nThe 84-year-old former Manchester United manager, who is a regular at Old Trafford, was present around the stadium on Sunday when he suddenly felt unwell. As a precaution, he was taken for medical attention.\n\nNo specific illness has been officially disclosed, but the situation is being treated as a preventive check-up due to his sudden discomfort.\n\n> #MUNLIV | Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was admitted to hospital on Sunday after feeling unwell ahead of the club’s Premier League clash against Liverpool FC at Old Trafford.\n>\n> UPDATE HERE:https://t.co/q00JW4NSjF\n>\n> — TOI Sports (@toisports) May 3, 2026\n\n\n\n\nEarlier in the day, he had also been seen at the stadium and even appeared in a social media post with Dr Aseem Malhotra. However, shortly after, concerns over his condition led to him being taken to hospital.\n\nFerguson, who managed Manchester United from 1986 to 2013 and is regarded as one of football’s greatest managers, has previously faced health issues, including emergency brain surgery in 2018. He made a strong recovery and returned to Old Trafford later that year.\n\n> \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nView this post on Instagram\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n>\n> A post shared by BBC SPORT (@bbcsport)\n\n\n\n\nIn short, he was taken to hospital simply because he felt unwell before the match, and medical staff decided it was safer to get him checked immediately.\n\nThe post Why was Sir Alex Ferguson taken to hospital before United vs Liverpool? appeared first on HUM News English.",
