Ramsey injury an accident - Fergie
Arsene Wenger rounded on Shawcross in the immediate aftermath of the incident, claiming the Stoke defender's challenge was "unacceptable" and deserving of more than a three-match ban.[LNB]Shawcross had left the field in tears after being shown a red card and he was so upset in the dressing room that he was driven home by his mother before the game at the Britannia Stadium had even finished.[LNB]The 22-year-old has been backed by a number of managers and fellow professionals, though, and Ferguson, who rang the former Manchester United starlet after the game, has told him not to beat himself up over the incident.[LNB]"We had him here since he was a kid at 13," said Ferguson. "There isn't a more honest boy in the world.[LNB]"Everyone has recognised it was an honest challenge, with no malice whatsoever.[LNB]"It is one of these unfortunate, terrible accidents that happen in football.[LNB]"Ryan was distraught and you would think that registered with the Arsenal players.[LNB]"But it didn't and he has had to carry that burden.[LNB]"But he can hold his head up. He knows he is not that kind of player."[LNB]Cesc Fabregas was critical straight after the game, before Wenger weighed in with his own contribution but Ferguson can understand why the Frenchman made his comments.[LNB]"Arsene is uptight. You can see that," said the United boss.[LNB]"He was tense. These moments of emotion can affect you a bit.[LNB]"Quite rightly he is obviously feeling for the player. I would feel the same for my own."[LNB]Ferguson does know what Wenger felt like, having seen Alan Smith stretchered off at Anfield in 2006.[LNB]That really was a freak incident, as Smith suffered a compound fracture of his leg as he charged out to block a John Arne Riise free-kick.[LNB]But his subsequent recovery does offer Ramsey hope he will eventually return.[LNB]"Alan Smith's injury was the worst I have ever seen on a football field," he said.[LNB]"When Bobby Charlton and I went into the treatment room I was dreading going in.[LNB]"I saw his ankle one way and his leg the other, yet Alan is sitting there as calm as can be. There was not a bit of emotion.[LNB]"It may have been shock but I suppose because I was walking around thinking he was finished.[LNB]"You saw his leg and you wondered how he could come back from that. But he has."[LNB][LNB] Man. Utd 1/3, Draw 4/1, Wolves 9/1
