Sir Alex Ferguson Blasts Jamie Carragher For Nani Tackle

Sir Alex Ferguson has pulled no punches in an attack on Jamie Carragher, following his controversial tackle on Nani in Manchester United's 3-1 defeat to Liverpool last weekend.

Ferguson recently revealed that Nani would probably not return until early April after sustaining an injury during his squad's defeat at Anfield on last Sunday.

Carragher escaped with a booking from referee Phil Dowd, though attempts by the defender to apologize to Nani after the game saw him turned away from the United’s dressing room.

Commenting on the issue, Fergie said: 'Obviously it was a disgraceful tackle, we know that, but you just move on.'

'We sent him to hospital to see what they could do and our own doctor and the surgeon there managed to get it stitched up, which was fantastic, the best news we could have got.'

Sir Alex was quick to stress that infection of the wound remains the biggest worry for the team, as Nani has to have his leg examined every day to ensure there is no moisture in it so that it can dry up with ease.
