Sir Alex Ferguson's health has improved

Ferguson, who regularly attends the team's matches, both home and away, was seen greeting guests at the stadium before he fell ill. He was initially treated in the stadium tunnel before being taken to hospital.

Current United manager Michael Carrick, who played under Ferguson, admitted he was shocked by the news before kick-off but hoped the 3-2 win against their arch-rivals would cheer the former manager.

“I don't have any updates so I don't know what the latest news is at this stage. I heard about it before the game so I was aware of the situation before the game. All I can say is that we are giving him our thoughts. I was very affected and we just hope he is ok. I just don't know the latest news.

We hope he will be in good shape and wish him all the best. I'm certainly thinking of him and hope the result when he hears about it will give him a good boost“, said Michael Carrick, at the press conference at the end of the game with Liverpool.

The legendary Red Devils manager has been a constant presence at Old Trafford since retiring in 2013.

The Scot coached Manchester United from 1986 to 2013 and won numerous trophies at Old Trafford, including 13 Premier League titles, the first in 1993 and the last in 2013, two Champions Leagues in 1999 and 2008, a European Super Cup, a Club World Championship, 5 FA Cups, 4 League Cups and 10 England Super Cup.

Sir Alex Ferguson began his coaching career in 1974 at East Stirlinghshire, St. Mirren and Aberdeen, and in 1985-1986 he was the Scotland coach.
