Hargreaves row sparked wobbler from Man Utd's
Nani
tribalfootball.com - March 02, 2008
Nani's strop at being substituted on
Saturday by Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has been
linked to his row with Owen Hargreaves over the free-kick the
midfielder scored in their victory at Fulham.The
Daily Mail says Hargreaves had to forcibly take the ball
off Nani before slotting it home for United's opener in their 3-0
win.
Nani did not win himself many friends throughout a
one-sided afternoon, even though his innovative decision making and
eye-catching footwork stood out.
Despite all the talk at United about curbing Nani's
showboating, he still produced enough tricks and flicks to irritate
opponents and crowd alike.
He also did not look too pleased to be substituted after
75 minutes.
As United headed back towards the tunnel at full time,
manager Sir Alex Ferguson made the effort to seek out Nani, pat him
on the back and say: "All right?"
Nani did not respond.
Hmm, did not see this happening.. anyone saw??
From TheSun:
This result was never in doubt once Hargreaves had
scored his first United goal with a precise 15th-minute
free-kick.
He revealed: “Nani wasn’t too pleased because he wanted
to take it and kind of protected the ball at first.
“I only took it because I felt comfortable I could
score.
“Nani told me he would have been upset with me if I
hadn’t scored so I’m glad it went in.”
