Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho accuses Sergio Aguero of getting Marouane Fellaini sent off: 'If he doesn't go to the floor, it's not a red'

Jose Mourinho accused Sergio Aguero of getting Marouane Fellaini sent off as a goalless Manchester derby erupted at the Etihad on Thursday night.

Fellaini was shown a straight red card by referee Martin Atkinson for headbutting Aguero just 19 seconds after he was booked for fouling the City striker.

But Mourinho claimed that Aguero had made a meal of the incident as he clashed with the big Belgian midfielder in the 84th minute.

'If Sergio doesn't go to the floor for sure it's not a red card,' said Mourinho.
