Shelvey's red card is likely to divide opinion, with Evans also appearing to take his feet off the ground as the two players collided, but Ferguson believes referee Mark Halsey was left with little option.

"I thought it was a clear red card," he added. "Jonny Evans went for the ball, got the ball and the boy has gone in really dangerously.

"I don't think there was any other decision the referee could have given."

He added of Evans: "He went for the ball, he got the ball. That's the important thing. Their boy didn't even attempt to go for the ball."

Shelvey had some angry words for Ferguson as he left the pitch and headed down the tunnel.

"He was trying to blame me I suppose," said the manager.

"He can apologise if he likes. He should do that, he's responsible for his own actions, there's no question about that."

United's penalty came after Antonio Valencia went down in the box following a Glen Johnson tackle and Ferguson added: "I haven't seen it. I couldn't see.

"Certainly he was in a shooting position. I thought it he should have squared it to Robin van Persie or Ryan Giggs but he took the decision to shoot himself and he was probably brought down. I'm not sure."

Ferdie just being Fergie.

He's so childish it makes me sick sometimes. You'd expect him to act more maturely since he's in his 70's and has been knighted and all, but no. He overreacts to everything that he feels is unfair to his team and plays dumb when his team is under scrutiny.
