Rakitic Apologises For Taunting Manchester United Youngster

"These things can happen out on the pitch, and I would like to apologise.

I didn't intend to offend anyone, and I'm sorry if I did.

I know a lot of people in Granada and I don't wish any misfortune on anyone.

The Granada head coach said: "The players at the big clubs in Spain are able to do as they please.

They've shown disrespect to this club, and they should have put it right.

If a player from a big club does it, it's put down to the heat of the moment; if a player from a smaller club does it, he's branded a disgrace."
