Sir Alex Ferguson, Nani to learn fate on Thursday

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson will learn what punishment he is to be handed by UEFA at some stage tomorrow.

The Scot was charged by the European governing body for failing to attend a post-match press conference after his Manchester United side had been knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid in controversial circumstances earlier this month.

Ferguson had been particularly angered by the decision of Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir to send off Nani for a challenge on Madrid full-back Alvaro Arbeloa.

Reports have claimed that Ferguson is likely to face a touchline suspension, as well as being fined.

Nani, who has been given an automatic one-match suspension, may see his ban extended.
