Sir Alex Ferguson and Nani will discover what punishments they face
from the fall-out of Manchester United’s Champions League exit to Real
Madrid today.Nani will definitely get a one-match ban for the red
card he picked up for a high tackle on Alvaro Arbeloa. Uefa do have the
power to increase that ban, although given the dismissal was widely
viewed as being exceptionally harsh, it would be a surprise if it was
extended.Ferguson is in hot water after failing to attend the
mandatory post-match press conference, an offence which in extreme cases
can bring a touchline ban. The United boss was furious with Turkish
referee Cuneyt Cakir over the red card which he felt swung the tie in
Real’s favour. United No 2 Mike Phelan said at the time Ferguson was too
“distraught” to face the media.
