His anger was echoed by United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, who was upset Andy Carroll was not sent off for a challenge on keeper David De Gea.I think it is a yellow card at most because Andy has committed to try for the header and you can't stop dead, he said. We would have been satisfied with a draw before the start but, when you see a victory against one of the best teams in Europe taken away from you, it is hard to take.It was a red card, he said.There is not a doubt about that.That incident came after United's Antonio Valencia had cancelled out Ricardo Vaz Te's 15th-minute opener for the Hammers. Carroll had thrown himself into an aerial challenge with the keeper as he attempted to reach a corner at the end of the first half, leaving both the Spaniard and defender Patrice Evra needing treatment.Mohamed Diame then fired West Ham in front again before Van Persie's 77th-minute strike sealed a point for the visitors.The referee did see it but didn't see it as a red card, Ferguson added. "He saw that incident and chose not to give him a red card.Television replays showed he was in an offside position when a Shinji Kagawa shot hit both posts and bounced out to him. Allardyce was quick to contradict Ferguson.
