Ferguson just said that Van Persie could have been killed from getting a ball in the back of his head.

If you haven't seen the incident yet, you might think Swansea defender Ashley Williams took a knife to Robin van Persie or at the very least, swung a boot at the Dutchman's head. But no, Williams kicked the ball (probably unintentionally) at the prone striker, who promptly went batsh*t mental. "It's the most dangerous thing I've seen on a football field for many, many years," said Ferguson. Anyone would think they'd just dropped points at Swansea.

Chelsea tearing Villa a new one here.

I lol'd when he said that.

[Leyton388]

****ing hell watching this and knowing we lost to this **** just winds you up.

[Joey Jones]

That was disgraceful. Should get a 10 game touchline ban. Incidentally, could someone have been killed when Cantona kicked the fan or Rio Ferdinand smashed the ball in to the Old Trafford crowd?

He should be banned, but will the FA act?

[ChesterDave]

£10 fine and warned (again) about his future conduct.

He's had so many warnings he must be due a £500,000 fine and a 18 match touchline ban

Latest quote from the BBC:

Robin van Persie is lucky to be alive. It was a disgraceful act from their player.

[Mattshark]

How the **** did we lose to them?

You do realise that is not how it works don't you? But if you can't figure it, 3 defensive errors.

[Kenneth]

****ing As if he deliberately sliced the ball like that. Nutters the lot of them.

[Leyton388]

Back and to the left!

Robin van Persie: Man Utd striker lucky to be alive - Ferguson

Sir Alex Ferguson says Robin van Persie is "lucky to be alive" after being hit in the head by a ball struck by Ashley Williams in the 1-1 draw with Swansea.

As the referee blew the whistle for a foul, Van Persie was lying on the ground when Williams kicked the ball from a couple of yards away.

Ferguson felt Van Persie was fortunate to escape serious injury.

"Robin van Persie is lucky to be alive. It was a disgraceful act from their player," he told BBC Sport.

"He should be banned by the FA. Robin could have had a broken neck."

The United manager said Williams, 28, had deliberately aimed the ball at Van Persie, who reacted furiously and was also cautioned by referee Michael Oliver.

Ferguson added on Sky Sports: "With the Van Persie situation, you can clearly see that he could have been killed.

"He should be banned for a long time because that was the most dangerous thing I've seen on a football field for many years.

"It was absolutely deliberate. The whistle has gone, the game has stopped and he has done that right in front of the referee, he could have killed the lad.

"It was a disgraceful act by the player, he should be banned for a long time."

However, United striker Wayne Rooney tried to play the incident down.

Rooney said: "I think it's one of those things. The whistle's gone, the defender has gone to clear and it's hit him in the head. I think probably the right decision from the referee."

Speaking before Ferguson, Williams denied he hit Van Persie intentionally.

He told BBC Sport: "I just cleared the ball with frustration and unfortunately it hit him in the head and he got a bit angry about it.

"Everything got a bit heated but it was all right in the end."
