Quote:
Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has defended himself in the wake of being branded a "thug" by former referee Howard Webb.
In the first leg at Anfield he appeared to elbow Emre Can -- though avoided any action from UEFA -- and then in the second leg on Thursday he was booked for making contact with Dejan Lovren with a flailing arm.
The 28-year-old accepts he is physical but insists he is not "dirty" and that the English game demands it.
"I like to win my challenge when I play a game. In England there are a lot of physical challenges so if you want to win the game you have to be aggressive and win your challenge.
