Last updated : 18 October 2011 By Adam Bryant

"I spoke to Patrice today. He is adamant he wants to follow it on," said the United boss.

"It is not an easy one for us. Everyone knows Manchester United and Liverpool have great responsibilities in terms of things that happen on the field.

"Saturday was terrific. Both sets of fans were good. There was not any of that silly chanting we have had in previous years. Both sets of fans deserve praise for that.

"It is not something we would want to level against Liverpool and it is not against Liverpool.

"Obviously Patrice feels very aggrieved at what was said to him. It rests in the hands of the FA now."
