No complaints over Nani
Sir Alex Ferguson had no complaints about Nani's red card at Aston Villa that will see him miss the Carling Cup final. But the Reds boss had nothing but praise for 10-man United as they battled to a 1-1 draw. As well as losing Nani for three matches Ryan Giggs, who forced United's equaliser, faces an X-ray on his elbow after leaving Villa Park with his arm in a sling and is a doubt for next week's Champions League clash with AC Milan. "It was a sending off. It was a red card," said Fergie after watching his side move to within a point of leaders Chelsea who lost 2-1 to Everton. "It was a naïve 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. "It is a pity he will miss the cup final plus two important league games against Everton and West Ham. "Forget the point, it was a magnificent performance. We were absolutely brilliant. If any team deserved to win it was us. I can't praise them enough. We should have won the game. We just couldn't get the ball in the net in that second half. We have gained. It was an important night. With Everton beating Chelsea we have gained one point and one goal. It could be an important point. We raised the tempo of our game and started passing it quicker after they scored. We kept possession of the ball very well and deserved to get the equaliser, albeit with an own goal."
