Louis van Gaal insists Marouane Fellainis elbow on Robert Huth was a normal reaction to having his hair pulled.In the first half of Sundays 1-1 Premier League draw at Old Trafford between Manchester United and Leicester, referee Michael Oliver failed to spot an incident inside the area whereby Huth tugged at Fellainis hair, before the Belgium international midfielder lashed out with an elbow and then a hand.Both Fellaini and Huth could receive retrospective bans for the incident, but Van Gaal insists the Leicester defender is more to blame. Fellaini could face retrospective action for the incident He told Sky Sports: When you look at what Huth is doing with Fellaini, thats a penalty. Shall I grab your hair? What is your reaction, when I grab your hair? Your hair is much shorter than Fellaini, but when I do that, what are you doing then?I think thats a normal reaction. You have to first pick Huth, because he was the guy who grabbed the hair of Fellaini. I think the reaction of Fellaini is like a human being. Souness: Fellaini wont escape ban Graeme Souness had his say on the incident in the first half with Robert Huth Van Gaal, who has spoken out previously about the need for video technology in football, again reiterated his stance that referees need help.It was a very difficult match, nowadays you cannot control it by yourself as a referee. It is so difficult. Claudio Ranieri shakes hands with Van Gaal after the game Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness, commenting on the incident at half-time, said Fellaini will be lucky to escape without a ban, but believes Huth was also responsible for the tangle.He said: This is no surprise. They are both big, strong aggressive men especially in the air.There is a bit of a tangle and I tell you what, Huth is lucky as well as Fellaini. I say Huth is lucky because he has caught him under the chin. If that catches him full square across his face, then hes lost several teeth or broke his nose and I dont think he can stay on the pitch. Report: Man Utd 1-1 Leicester Leicester must wait to claim the Premier League title after being held to a 1-1 draw by Man Utd In that respect, he is lucky, but Fellaini wont escape a ban for that. I just cant see it.With regards to the game, Van Gaal said the performance was one of Uniteds best of the season, but admits the draw makes it tougher for them to gain a top four spot. Claudio Ranieri says he will be flying back from Italy on Monday and will not watch Tottenhams crucial game against Chelsea We played one of our best matches in the season, and it was not enough, he said.We created a lot of chances, we have to score, but we didnt score, and they score out of a set play again. They are very dangerous with that and we know that.We could have scored, and its a pity, because in spite of the draw, the fans were applauding, and that is significant.Its tougher when you dont win, of course. But it is all if, we dont know. We are still in a race.Also See:United make Leicester waitSouness: Fellaini wont escape banRanieri: I wont be watchingAs it happenedCheap Shoes From China .

But it wasnt enough as Manly endured their worst finish in over a decade to come fourth last.With Lyon retired, former Melbourne pivot Green is the man who is charged with taking Manly back to the finals in 2017.Alongside Daly Cherry-Evans in the halves, Green is the key piece of the puzzle under former NSW and Kangaroos five-eighth Barrett.New Zealand forward Martin Taupau believes Green is the right man for Manly.It is a great initiative for the club to sign Blake Green. He is a quality player, Taupau told AAP.He had a great year this year. He showed what sort of player he is and played in the grand final.The different combinations really hurt us this year. We had Dylan Walker playing at No.6 and then that changed.We really need stability there. It is crucial for us and Blake will bring that. Plus hee is a talented player.ddddddddddddHe is part of what is building for us. He is the type of player that can take this club forward and I am excited for what lies ahead.Two weeks ago Taupau re-signed with Manly until the end of 2020, after joining them from Wests Tigers for 2016.Taupau said one of his man reasons for recommitting was to play under Barrett who he said has tremendous potential as a head coach.Barrett struggled in his debut year which was rocked by a number of injuries, allegations of match fixing and a legal stoush with the clubs major sponsor.It was a great show of faith, Taupau said.We have some great senior players there and some youngsters coming through.Trent is a great coach, who knows his football.There were certain elements in his game that he didnt have control over.We have the majority of our salary cap on the sidelines and some inexperienced players come in.It is all about cohesion and we just didnt have that.But there are plenty of reasons to be positive about next year.
