Rooney waits on red card decision
Sir Alex Ferguson is hoping Wayne Rooney will not be handed a suspension after his sending off in the pre-season friendly against FC Porto.
The 20-year-old frontman scored in the 3-1 win but was dismissed four minutes before half time after an aerial challenge with Porto's Pepe. It appeared a harsh decision by referee Ruud Bossen to give a straight red card for an incident Sir Alex described as "innocuous".
The referee can report the incident to the Dutch Football Association, who can in turn can pass it on to the English FA and they could punish Rooney if they feel it necessary to do so. He could miss three matches at the start of the season, which would include Fulham, Charlton and Watford.
"I've seen the incident with Wayne and it was innocuous," Sir Alex told Sky Sports. "You would think common sense and fairness would prevail. It's a ridiculous decision, but we will have to wait and see what happens."
The United boss was disappointed with the reaction of some of Porto's players, adding: "We talk about players diving and play-acting so often that it has become the norm and people accept it now. Of course, we can't allow that. [Pepe] made a meal of it. And I thought the referee should have done better than he did. Ole was elbowed, but the ref warned the player and got on with it."
Sir Alex admitted there was no defence for Scholes' dismissal. The 31-year-old midfielder, who had already been booked, clattered Quaresma from behind in the second half.
"Paul should know better," the boss said. "A straight red card was maybe a bit harsh, but nonetheless it was a tackle from behind, so you can't argue with it."
The Reds also suffered injuries to Rio Ferdinand and John O'Shea. Gabriel Heinze, Nemanja Vidic and Gary Neville are already out and Sir Alex knows too well that United can ill-afford more injuries, which have hampered the Reds at the start of the last two seasons. O'Shea suffered a dead leg and was substituted, while Ferdinand went over on his ankle during the warm-up.
"We've got two weeks before the start of the season so we should hopefully be OK," the manager said. "O'Shea should be out for a few days and hopefully Rio will be ready for the Sevilla game. There was a little bit of swelling around Rio's ankle so you can't take chances after our experiences last year."
The manager praised the young players that dealt with the situation to see out the victory over Porto, while also praising Michael Carrick on his first display in a red shirt.
"Phil Bardsley did well at right-back and then when he switched to centre-half. Then there was Danny Simpson and Lee Martin who both came on. It was terrific to see and they played some good football tonight.
"Carrick was excellent, I was very pleased with him," the boss continued. "He's a good footballer with great awareness and showed good stature in the game." |
