UEFA launch proceedings against United

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

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