Manchester United boss Ferguson slams ‘badgering’ Manchester City rival Mancini

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has explained his touchline altercation with Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini during last night's defeat.

Ferguson watched his side lose 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium, a result which has conceded the title initiative to City with only two games remaining.

Ferguson said: "He was badgering the referee the whole game, the fourth official and the linesman, and the minute I go out there...

"He was complaining about referees all week, he can't be complaining tonight, that's for sure."

Victorious Mancini played the incident down, adding: "I don't remember (what the row was about). I told the fourth official it was a foul for us, not against.

"At that moment the tension was high, but for me it's forgotten."
