SIR ALEX FERGUSON AND NANI AXED BY UEFA

Sir Alex Ferguson has been fined £8,500 for refusing to speak to the media after Manchester United Vs. Real Madrid Champions League defeat. Wait a minute! People get fined for refusing to speak to the media?

Fergie felt the red card was unjustly meted out and was furious throughout the match, even his assistant Mike Phelan, Ferguson stated that he was too distraught to fulfil his media commitments after their loss to Madrid. But UEFA insists he was wrong.

Manchester United winger, Nani on the other hand has been banned for one match following the red card he received at the UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg against Real Madrid CF at Old Trafford on 5 March.

'Manchester United head coach Sir Alex Ferguson has been fined €10,000 for non-fulfilment of the post-match media obligations (Annex III, paras 2.6 and 2.7 of the competition regulations) at the same match.' A statement from UEFA reads.
