The supporter was wrestled to the ground by stewards before being ejected from the pitch, but United are still likely to face action from the FA as a result of their failure to prevent the incident.[LNB]Bellamy could also be investigated for hitting the supporter, but Hughes insisted that the blame lay with the pitch invader.[LNB]Manchester Uniteds five-front challenge hampered by injuryShay Given joins Manchester City from NewcastleCraig Bellamy breathes life into Manchester CityManchester City poised for Michael Owen bidHughes said: "Somebody has mentioned it to me, although I haven't seen it. But the guy shouldn't have been on the pitch. That's not acceptable. I remember Brian Clough clipping somebody around the earhole for being daft once and maybe that is what Craig has done."[LNB]Hughes confirmed that City were unlikely to report an incident at half-time when substitute Javier Garrido appeared to be struck by an object thrown from the crowd. He said: "Garrido was apparently hit by something, but he's fine. We don't want to dwell on it."[LNB]
