Fellaini, Manchester United escape punishment for Anfield incidents

Marouane Fellaini's clash with Emre Can and songs sung by Manchester United fans about the Hillsborough disaster were not in UEFA's report.

Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini will face no punishment for his clash with Emre Can, while his club's supporters will not be sanctioned for offensive chants during Thursday's Europa League match against Liverpool.

Fellaini appeared to strike his opponent Can with an elbow during the closing moments of Liverpool's 2-0 win in the first leg of the last-16 tie at Anfield.

During the match, sections of the United support were heard singing songs referencing the football stadium disasters at Heysel and Hillsborough — where terrace incidents around games involving Liverpool resulted in the deaths of 135 fans.
