Sir Alex Ferguson, 84, is taken to hospital as a precaution after medical concerns and is not seen publicly again until after the incident. Reporting across outlets says Ferguson missed a Manchester United home match against Liverpool following the hospitalisation. The reports describe the trip as precautionary and note that Ferguson was taken to hospital after becoming unwell during the period surrounding Manchester United’s fixture schedule.
One account states Ferguson was hospitalised in May and was absent from the Old Trafford match against Liverpool. Another source adds that the episode follows earlier worries the manager had in March, when he was taken to hospital after falling ill at Old Trafford ahead of Manchester United’s 3–2 win over Liverpool. Together, the articles indicate Ferguson’s health issues occur in two separate periods and that, in connection with the later hospital stay, he does not attend public appearances or the relevant match.
