Man Utd keeper Van der Sar refuses to slate winker Balotelli

Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar chose not to condemn Mario Balotelli after the Manchester City striker's taunts yesterday.

Balotelli appeared to spark a melee after a historic 1-0 victory for City at Wembley.

Van der Sar said: "I think he [Balotelli] misunderstood which side of the stadium he had to go to so he could thank the supporters. Maybe in Italy they do things differently, but let's just talk about the football. I won't lose any sleep over losing this game but I'm disappointed. It's a semi-final and that's not what you want at this stage of the season."
