Wigan owner Dave Whelan tells @bbc5live that McManaman tackle on Haidara wasn't reckless and he took the ball "clean as a whistle."
Dave Whelan: “young McManaman went in for the ball and got the ball, as clean as a whistle, then followed through and they collided"
Whelan: “..referee was 15 yards from the tackle. I don’t think his view was blocked. He had a clear view. I had a clear view in the stands"
Whelan: McMananman "hasn’t gone over the ball. That’s an accident.. There is not one ounce of malice in [him].. He was very upset by it all.
