Manchester United Boss, Sir Alex Ferguson, accepted his side deserved to lose at Fulham but hit out at the decision to send off Wayne Rooney. With United trailing 2-0, referee Phil Dowd showed Rooney a second yellow card for throwing the ball in frustration. "The ball was thrown to where the free-kick was being taken - did it hit the referee? No," Ferguson told MUTV. "But there's no point talking about the referee - we didn't play well enough in the first half and that's why we lost." Now United’s lead will be cut because of the 2-o defeat by Fulham. Also they have lost points by Liverpool overpowering Aston Villa by 5 goals to 0, but United have a game in hand which means they’ve got an extra game to everyone else against Pompey. Manchester United’s next match is against Aston Villa, who haven’t been doing brilliantly lately, but Man U have Rooney, Scholes and Vidic missing and Villa have Friedel missing who is their top goal keeper.
