The veteran tactician was rightfully fuming and had some choice words for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 midfielder, who blamed him for his sending off.
Brendan Rodger’s side had the perfect start to the game at Anfield yesterday, piling pressure on the Red Devils and pressing them right from the start.
Manchester United have accumulated a below par record at Merseyside in the last couple of years and looked set to maintain that after failing to match their usually high standards.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196 and Joe Allen dominated proceedings.
Gerrard netted the first goal of the night right after the break, but Rafael was able settle things with brilliantly taken effort.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 slotted in a late penalty to earn three points and left the Reds heartbroken, despite having been the 2nd best team during the entire ninety minutes.
However, the red card to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonjo-Shelvey-c19081 turned the game on its head and the midfielder himself caused some controversy after erupting into a row with Ferguson while on his way out of the Stadium.
Fergie, being no stranger to verbal spats, responded in kind on the spot and has continued that tirade into the media, although there has been a patch up after Shelvey apologized to the tactician on Twitter.
Regardless, the former Aberdeen boss’ comments were aimed at defending his player and making sure that any doubt of the sending off was removed at once.
“Jonjo Shelvey’s sending off was a clear red card, there was a dangerous attempt to go for the ball. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonny-Evans-c19085 went for the ball and got it, and I don’t think there was any other decision referee could make,” Ferguson said.
“He blamed me! But he is young and he will realise the stupidity of it,” the long-standing tactician was quoted as saying to the media.
United now face a tricky date with Newcastle United in the Capital One Cup on the 26th of September and could also welcome back http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736, who has been recovering from a gash injury in the last couple of games.
