Fergie told crying Nani 'I hope your legs are f***ing broken' after awful Carragher foul
|
Sir Alex Ferguson tore into former Manchester United trickster Nani after he almost suffered a broken leg following a horrendous tackle by Jamie Carragher. The Portuguese winger was left in tears by the incident that happened during the first half of United’s 3-1 defeat at Anfield back in 2011. With Fergie’s side 1-0 down following the first of Dirk Kuyt’s three goals in the contest, Carragher steamed into a challenge on the far side of the Anfield pitch, clattering into Nani’s leg and leaving a gaping cut in the United man’s shin.

These things happen, unfortunately, in football.” The ex-Portugal international was replaced after a lengthy stoppage which ignited one of the many flare ups that marred the occasion.

"We started fighting with Liverpool players, Steven Gerrard, and then Scholsey [Paul Scholes] came and he saw Nani crying. He said ‘f*** that, let's go’. “After that Ferguson gave him two weeks off because he says he needed to recover from that because we were waiting for him because in that team we didn't care we were ready to kill him. “Because you know someone crying at Anfield... and even Ferguson, you remember when he said: ‘I hope your legs are f*****g broken I really hope your legs are broken’.” READ NEXT: Richard Keys says Wout Weghorst is the 'worst player ever to wear Man Utd shirt' Erik ten Hag insists 'inspirational' Bruno Fernandes is still captain despite 7-0 antics Fans want Roy Keane's reaction to 'childish' Wout Weghorst touching This is Anfield sign Liverpool fans adamant Jude Bellingham is 'taking the p***' and mocking Man Utd |
