UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against United over Nani's red card and the non-fulfilment of post-match media obligations.

Manager Sir Alex Ferguson reacted angrily after Nani was sent off for a high challenge on Real Madrid's Alvaro Arbeloa in the 56th minute of the match, which United were leading 1-0 at the time.

But with the man advantage, Madrid came back to win 2-1 on the night, 3-2 on aggregate.

Ferguson did not appear for interviews after the match, with his assistant Mike Phelan attending the post-match press conference and saying the manager was too "distraught" to speak, while the players did not stop to talk in the mixed zone.
