Neville Plays Down Carragher Tackle After Fergie's Blast

Gary Neville has attempted to calm the row between Manchester United and Liverpool over Jamie Carragher's tackle on Nani.

Neville - famed for his open disregard for bitter-rivals Liverpool - played down the tackle that left his Portuguese team-mate needing stitches.

Sir Alex Ferguson labelled the over-the-ball challenge a "disgrace" but Neville, speaking at the opening of a football academy in Portugal, refused to be dragged into a war of words.

"It is obvious that it was not a good tackle and Jamie knows it, but these are things that pass in the world of the football," the recently-retired defender said.
