Sir Alex Ferguson refuses to comment on Luis Suarez, Patrice Evra

Sir Alex Ferguson has refused to be drawn on the controversy surrounding Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra ahead of Manchester United's FA Cup clash against Liverpool tomorrow.

The bitter rivals face each other for the first time since Reds striker Suarez was banned for eight matches after being found guilty of racially abusing the Red Devils defender.

"I'm not getting into that, right?" Ferguson said, who is said to have been told by the Football Association not to comment on the matter.

Meanwhile, United's assistant boss Mike Phelan believes that supporters will behave at Anfield.
