Ferguson questions handling of Suarez affair

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has questioned why Liverpool did not appeal against Luis Suarez’s recent eight-match ban if they believed he was not guilty of racially abusing Patrice Evra.

The clash between Suarez and Evra remains an inflammatory subject between the rival clubs, who meet at Old Trafford today in a match that is likely to see the two players come face to face for the first time since their acrimonious October meeting.
