Manchester United starlet Rodrigo Possebon suffers horror tackle by LotusFlower

The two footed studs up tackle strikes again and this time puts the career of young Rodrigo Possebon, making his first start for Manchester United, in danger of ending before it begins. It was Middlesbrough captain Emanuel Pogatetz who commited the foul and was shown a straight red card but refused initially to leave the pitch claiming innocence as Possebon's socks leaked blood from what later turns out to be a bad break of the leg.

Sir Alex Ferguson attacked Emanuel Pogatetz for his horror tackle on Manchester United youngster Rodrigo Possebon.

The Middlesbrough skipper was shown a straight red for the twofooted challenge which left Brazilian teenager Possebon with a suspected broken leg and blood pouring from a gaping wound on his right shin.

Fergie said: "I've seen the challenge again on a television replay and I don't want to see it again.

"The boy has gone to hospital. It was a really bad one. For the kid to make his first start for us and get an injury like that was pretty horrendous."
