Nani has apologised for getting himself needlessly sent off against West Ham in the Reds' 4-1 victory at the weekend.
With
United 3-1 up at Old Trafford at the time, the Portuguese winger got
involved in a scuffle with Lucas Neill. The Australian defender
certainly looked to have provoked Nani, but the United starlet was
correctly dismissed for reacting by going head-to-head with the Hammers
defender.
Sir Alex Ferguson described Nani's actions as
"immature", especially considering that, at this stage of the season,
United could have done without playing half a game with only ten men.
In
the end it made no difference to the overall outcome of the game,
but 21-year-old Nani has since recognised his misdemeanour and is
clearly contrite.
"I recognise my action was a thoughtless one," he said. "But I also have to say I was provoked and attacked.
"I regret what I did and want to publicly ask for forgiveness."
Lets hope he dont do this again
i dunno.. won't you beat the shit out of someone who pinched your privates in public?
