Van Persie ‘could have been killed’
Patrice Evra struck with a first half header from van Persie’s corner, but after Michu had equalised with his 13th goal of the season, United were strangely shy in front of goal where Wayne Rooney, van Persie, Ashley Young and Michael Carrick all missed opportunities to win it.
But Ferguson was in no mood to celebrate his side’s first draw of the season. Instead the United boss was up in arms about the second half incident when Williams kicked the ball at van Persie after the Dutchman had been floored by a tackle on the edge of the penalty area.
