Royal pardon for Fergie

THE Football Association will not be taking any action against Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson after Reading fans complained he made offensive gestures during Saturday’s game at the Madejski Stadium.

It was claimed the United manager was responding to taunts by the home fans — but he insisted he was celebrating his side’s 2-0 win.

Yesterday the FA said they would not be taking any action after studying video evidence and consulting the fourth official at the game.
