"Ferguson was taken to hospital purely as a precautionary measure, with officials at Manchester United optimistic that he will soon be able to recuperate at home."
"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 and reported to be 'OK'."
"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.'"
Sir Alex Ferguson, the 84-year-old former manager of Manchester United, was taken to the hospital before a game as a precaution. He was attended to by medics in the Stretford End tunnel and later reported to be okay. Ferguson, who retired in 2013 after 27 years, previously underwent life-saving surgery for a brain hemorrhage in 2018. Despite a paid ambassadorial role ending in 2024, he continues to attend games at Old Trafford.
