Nani Red Was Fair says Sir
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has no sympathy for Nani after he was sent off in the game against Villa last night meaning he will now serve a ban that ensures he misses the Carling Cup Final. Nani dived in with a tackle on Stiliyan Petrov after just 30 minutes of the game and referee Peter Walton had no hesitation in showing the player a straight red which carries a three match ban. "It was a sending off," said the United boss. "It was a red card. It was a naive tackle. He is not a malicious player but he has gone in with his foot raised off the ground and we cannot complain about it. "We should have had a foul seconds before when Agbonlahor came in with his foot up on Wes Brown's ribs. "That was disappointing but we have no argument at all with the red card."
