The Manchester United manager states that Rooney was right in asking the referee to show Kompany the red card in F.A Cup third round encounter...
After http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vincent-Kompany-c36184 after the Belgian centre back’s two footed lunge on Luis Nani to stop a Manchester United counter attack, Sir Alex
Ferguson has now defended his team’s superstar in his recent press conference.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752’s team gained three goals to two win over City at the Etihad stadium in the end and gained massively from Kompany’s sending off in the first half as all three of their goals came in the first 45 minutes of the match in
question. Manchester United are now set to face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 in the 4th round of the F.A Cup but Kompany’s sending off is still in the headlines.
Ferguson stated in his recent interview, "I have no concerns about the behaviour in that respect because to my mind it was a reckless challenge and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299 is a very lucky boy because he didn't get a bad injury, I have no complaints
about Wayne.”
He also said, “I don't think it was unacceptable what he did. I think it was a natural reaction to a bad challenge from an opponent. But I can understand where Roberto's coming from because that's what happens with players today,
they all appeal for penalties or players to be sent off, it's an unfortunate part of our game."
He added that the challenge posed by Manchester City in the English Premier League is not a problem for United as they have seen off such challenges in the past by clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea. He also stated, "It
doesn't matter where it comes from: http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, Liverpool or Tottenham, and Manchester City are a very good team. We know it's going to be a big, big fight towards the end of the season."
