Sir Alex Ferguson has told Luis Suarez that he isn’t fit to wear the Liverpool shirt.
The Uruguayan striker again controversially clashed with Patrice Evra on Saturday.
Suarez, just back from an eight-game ban for racially abusing the Manchester United captain at Anfield in October, sparked a pre-match row when he refused to shake Evra’s hand.
And despite seeing Wayne Rooney score twice to take United to the top of the Premier League, Ferguson was in no mood to pull his punches when asked about the Uruguayan’s conduct.
“Suarez is a disgrace to Liverpool Football Club,” said Ferguson. “That player should not be allowed to play for Liverpool again. The history that club has got ... and he does that today.
“It could have caused a riot. I was really disappointed in that guy. For a club with their history, I’d get rid of him, I really would.
“Liverpool have a player banned for eight matches and they’ve tried to blame Patrice Evra. It’s him (Suarez) they should be bloody blaming. He could have cost them a European place.
“I had a chat with Patrice this morning and he said, ‘I’m going to shake his hand. I have nothing to be ashamed of. I’m going to keep my dignity.’ I couldn’t believe it when Suarez refused to shake his hand.” Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has been widely criticised for attempting to defend Suarez.
Dalglish decided against attending the usual post-match press conference, but reacted angrily when asked about Suarez’s snub to Evra on television.
Suarez claimed that the racial slurs he aimed at Evra in October were down to cultural differences.
And Dalglish once again seemed to indicate that he felt the 25-year-old had been misunderstood.
He raged: “I didn’t know that Luis refused to shake Evra’s hand. I’ll have to take your word for it. I didn’t see it. I wasn’t out there. But it’s contrary to what I was told.
“I think you are very severe and bang out of order to blame Luis Suarez for anything that happened out there...Listen, we’re not in it for handshakes.”
The FA last night indicated that they would wait for the report of referee Phil Dowd before deciding whether to act.
Evra embarked on an ill-conceived lap of honour at the final whistle that took him perilously close to Suarez.
Before the game, Greater Manchester Police confiscated thousands of copies of the Red Issue fanzine because it carried a mocked-up picture of the Suarez wearing a Ku Klux Klan outfit.
And as the Liverpool squad left Old Trafford, forward Craig Bellamy became embroiled in an ugly row with United’s head of security.
Later, United defender Rio Ferdinand admitted he refused to shake Suarez’s hand because of the snub to Evra, saying: “If he’s not got the respect that you need to have in these situations, and acknowledge that you’ve made a mistake and say sorry and move on, well I lost all respect for the guy after that.”

A human being has every right not to shakes his accuser’s or a liar’s hand, no matter what crime it involved. Wrongfully penalised by a man’s word against another, is that fair? Luis Suarez served his suspension for the accusation by the English FA, so that’s the end of it.
Excuse him for feeling a little aggrieved. The only thing is that if Dalglish and Suarez has had a talk about shaking hands and he said he would, I would have liked him to. Glad he has apologized for that and so has the club. Glad because that at least puts a temporary stop to all the vile written against him although I wouldn’t bet on it. Some rags are already on the ‘Luis to be sold this summer’ bandwagon.
Who the hell is Sir Alex Ferguson? A manager who bred and lead many love-rats, thugs and drug addicts in his Manchester squad, came out all guns blazing over a handshakes incident. If any Mancs reading this, do you remember the Cantona’s kung-fu kick on Crystal Palace’s fan? Or Keano career ending tackle on Alf Inge Haaland? Ferdinand was banned for 9 months for missing a routine drug test? Two love-rats still running on the pitch in disguise as Rooney and Giggs?
As far as I’m concern, the Premier League title still haven’t being won by any team in February. What is Evra celebrating for after the match? Isn’t that a riot act from a Manchester United player?
When football has becomes too political, it not just tarnished the reputation of Liverpool FC in general but the English FA itself in taking matters into their own hands are like taking a gun and shoot itself on the foot. I’d loved to see what are the FA going to do next? If Evra doesn’t get banned for his action, then your thoughts and mine would be most likely be the same – the system has been too corrupted and has political agendas written all over it.
