Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson was rushed to hospital Friday night. He was at a soccer bash when he suffered a heavy nose bleed that would not stop. Fergie � treated for a heart problem in 2003 � was taken by ambulance to hospital in Glasgow. The scare came as he was about to speak at the city�s Thistle Hotel at a dinner to celebrate 40 years since Rangers won the European Cup Winners� Cup. About 1,000 guests were told at the last minute that he had pulled out for �personal reasons�. Fergie, who played for the Glasgow club in the 1960s, had been spotted outside with a bleeding nose while with fellow ex-Rangers player Sandy Jardine and former manager Alex McLeish. A witness said: �I saw him in the car park. His nose was bleeding and he looked uncomfortable.� Fergie thought it best to go to hospital as a �precaution�. Medics later ruled it was not serious and discharged him from hospital. He was back at home in Cheshire early today recovering United confirmed last night: �There was a minor problem but he is at home resting and is fine.� Sir Alex was on the touchline on Sunday as United 1-0 won at Sunderland, but lost the Premier League title to Man City. On Monday, he attended his club�s Player Of The Year awards night at Old Trafford.
