Man United’s Nemanja Vidic and Wigan’s Hugo Rodallega clashed during Man United’s 5-0 thrashing of Wigan. Rodallega claimed that Vidic elbowed him but replays showed that he didn’t elbow him but he did put his hand in the face of Rodallega.


Referee Howard Webb didn’t see the incident but he has looked at replays. Webb told the FA that the pictures won’t totally clear and he wouldn’t have sent Vidic off if he had seen it. There were worries that Vidic could possibly have been banned for three matches after that incident but luckily he won’t have to serve a three match ban.


Man United are also in the clear after Man United players surrounded the referee in the Community Shield match against Chelsea. There is a new rule that clubs can now be charged for instances where three or more players surround the referee in a confrontational manner but referee Chris Foy insisted that he didn’t feel pressured or under threat.
