FA to take no action against fellaini

Marouane Fellaini will face no action from the Football
Association after he was cleared of intentionally spitting
at Sergio Aguero in Sunday's Manchester derby.
United midfielder Fellaini and striker Aguero clashed in
the first half of City's 1-0 victory at the Etihad Stadium
last weekend.
Aguero tumbled to the floor after Fellaini kicked his
standing leg and the hosts appealed for a penalty, which
was not given.
Fellaini clearly did not feel it was a foul and he bent
down to shout at the Argentinian as he lay face down on
the floor.
TV replays showed that some spit appeared to exit the
Belgian's mouth as he unleashed his tirade at the striker,
but after reviewing the incident the FA's disciplinary
panel believe it was not intentional.
An FA spokesman confirmed the Belgian would not,
therefore, receive any kind of retrospective punishment.
Fellaini hit out at suggestions he had spat at the City
striker, who scored the derby winner at the Etihad
Stadium.
The Belgium international tweeted:
The press loves to invent the stories when there aren't
any. Thanks the journalist. #ferity #tospit

United manager Louis van Gaal defended his player
after the match on Sunday.
"The TV has shown that he is shouting and sometimes
when you shout there's a little bit of saliva [that comes
out] with it,'' the United boss told a news conference. ''I
don't think that he's a spitting figure.''
Van Gaal's opposite number Manuel Pellegrini said he
was unaware of the incident when questioned post-
match.
