What the ref thinks he sees vs. what actually happens are two completely different things. The fact that we have the ability to see it slowed down now proves that the ref made the wrong call...the defender sold the contact, the ref bought it...plain and simple.
If Nani was going into that tackle with malicious intent (he knew there was a defender coming), then it's a different story.
And for the record, I'm not a Man U fan. Just a soccer fan that gets annoyed with referees taking over games all the time.
