Alex Ferguson Faults Chelsea, Defends Ref Clattenburg In ‘racism’ Row by otexbaba(m): 6:44pm On Nov 02, 2012
SPORTS – Alex Ferguson faults Chelsea, defends ref Clattenburg in ‘racism’ row
MANCHESTER, United Kingdom (AFP) – Alex Ferguson said Friday that it was “unthinkable” that referee Mark Clattenburg had racially abused a Chelsea player during Manchester United’s controversial victory last weekend.

United’s 3-2 Premier League win was overshadowed by allegations from the losers that Clattenburg, who sent off two Chelsea men, used “inappropriate language” against two of their players during the match.

It is a matter that is being investigated by both London’s Metropolitan Police force and the Football Association, with the focus now on claims that Clattenburg used a racist slur against Nigeria midfielder John Obi Mikel.

A second accusation, relating to Spaniard Juan Mata, has been dropped by Chelsea while Clattenburg maintains his innocence on all matters.
