Uefa take action after Ferguson no-show

Uefa have opened disciplinary proceedings against Manchester United over Nani’s red card and the non-fulfilment of post-match media obligations at Tuesday night’s Champions League match with Real Madrid, the European governing body have confirmed.

Manager Alex Ferguson reacted angrily after Nani was sent off for a high challenge on Madrid’s Alvaro Arbeloa in the 56th minute, at a time when United were leading 1-0.

But with the man advantage, Madrid came back to win 2-1 on the night, 3-2 on aggregate.
