Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson was taken to hospital on Sunday after feeling unwell at Old Trafford just before the Premier League showdown against rivals Liverpool.
According to reports the 84-year-old remains conscious and is undergoing precautionary medical checks.
A constant presence at both home and away games for the Red Devils, Ferguson spent nearly 27 years in charge of Manchester United before retiring in 2013.
He first arrived at the club in 1986 and went on to oversee around 1,500 matches, steering the team to 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League triumphs.
After stepping down from the dugout, he served as a club ambassador until 2025. In total, his glittering spell at United delivered 38 major trophies.
Earlier in his career, he also enjoyed huge success at Aberdeen, where he won three Scottish league titles and four Scottish Cups.
Ferguson began his managerial journey with St Mirren before taking the reins of the Scotland national team, guiding them to the 1986 World Cup.
He had earlier enjoyed a playing career as a forward, finishing as top scorer in the Scottish Division One during the 1965/66 season.
This latest health concern comes more than seven years after a previous serious scare.
In May 2018, Ferguson underwent emergency surgery for a brain haemorrhage after falling ill at home.
He made a strong recovery and was given a moving standing ovation when he returned to Old Trafford in September that year.
