Tevez should be banned – Fergie

Sir Alex Ferguson has called for Carlos Tevez to be banned for what he insists was an “x-rated” foul on Wes Brown during last week’s Carling Cup first leg against Manchester City. United lost 2-1 to their bitter-rivals with Tevez netting both City goals. "Tevez should have been sent off, really. Have you seen that tackle? He went right over the ball. But he didn't even get booked,” fumed Fergie on Saturday. "Other than that, nothing happened in the game. It was competitive but there were no confrontations on the pitch, nothing." The second-leg will be played on 27 February at Old Trafford. Fergie however tried to play down the importance of the game, insisting: "At the outset the object was to qualify for the final and we can still do that. I always said the game was going to be decided at Old Trafford and that's the case."
