ROUGHED UP ... Nemanja Vidic
Ferguson is angry Wanderers boss Owen Coyle tried to
accuse Vidic of deliberately elbowing Johan Elmander, who was left
needing four stitches in a head wound.
And last night Ferguson insisted it was Serb defender
Vidic who got the real roughing-up at the Reebok ahead of tonight's
crunch Champions League quarter-final, first leg showdown with the
German champions.
Ferguson said: "What's the story about those in glass
houses?
"Vidic came in at half-time on Saturday with a lump on
his head, a swollen jaw and also a black eye."
Despite Coyle's protestations, the FA will not charge
Vidic over the incident.
And Ferguson was adamant there was absolutely no intent
from the big Serb.
The Scot added: "I would be amazed if he was charged. I
would be totally amazed.
"It was clear he had his eye on the ball.
"It was a clear header from the centre-back.
"There was no intent whatsoever, no eyes towards the
centre- forward.
"I'm not sure he knew he was even there.
"His sole intention was to attack that ball and head it
clear. And he did that."
Coyle had disagreed. He insisted: "Anyone who has seen
it knows that it was a terrible challenge."
Vidic will once again team up with Rio Ferdinand in
Munich's Allianz Arena, after Ferdinand missed the trip to Bolton
with a groin injury.
Wayne Rooney is also fit to play.
He was rested for the Bolton game, as United manage the
England star's knee problem.
