Brown: Carling semi was not a dirty game

Manchester United star Wes Brown insists his team’s Carling Cup semi-final second leg against Blackburn was not a dirty game.

Rovers boss Mark Hughes was acutely unhappy with the treatment dished out to Robbie Savage, who pursued Rio Ferdinand into the tunnel at top speed – followed by players and coaching staff of both sides at half-time in a match which saw United win through to next month’s final against Wigan.
