London, Oct 18 (ANI): Manchester United striker Patrice Evra has said he will not back down in the Luis Suarez race row, as he insists that he was called a n***** over ten times by Liverpool footballer.
"We spoke to Patrice today and he's adamant that he wants to follow it on. It's not an easy one because everyone knows Manchester United and Liverpool have great responsibilities in terms of what happens on the field," The Sun quoted Fergie, as saying.
"It's not something that we want to level at Liverpool, and it's not against Liverpool. Obviously Patrice feels very aggrieved at what was said to him and it rests in the hands of the FA now. He feels he was slighted on Saturday and we don't want to see it, simple as that," he added.
Suarez, however, denied all allegations.
"I am upset by the accusations of racism. I have always respected everybody," he said.
Meanwhile, players' union chief Gordon Taylor has offered to act as a mediator in the row, saying: "It's very disappointing to have two of our players from different countries at odds over a very serious issue. Only by having a full inquiry can we get to the bottom of it." (ANI)
