Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has broken his silence over Liverpool striker Luis Suarez's ban for racially abusing Patrice Evra.
Suarez was suspended for eight games and fined £40,000 after being found guilty of using insulting words towards the United full-back, with reference to Evra's skin colour.
Liverpool responded with a strongly-worded statement in which they criticised the Football Association and claimed Evra should also face charges after he admitted insulting Suarez during the altercation, while their players wore T-shirts in support of the Uruguayan before their draw with Wigan.
Ferguson initially insisted he had "nothing to say" about the T-shirts but has since implied the Reds should accept the sanction.
"Our support of Patrice was obvious right from the word go and that's still the same," he said, in comments reported by the Guardian. "The matter is over and I think we're satisfied that they [the FA's independent commission] found the right decision.
"This wasn't about Manchester United and Liverpool at all. It was nothing to do with that. This was an individual situation where one person was racially abused."
