That Bust-Up Between Kuqi And Tiote

United’s flying Finn apparently aimed an elbow at Tiote and wrestling with him.

:Shefki Kuqi “On Monday I took a phone call from a guy who works for the Sun.

“He used to work for the local paper in Croydon when I played for Palace.

“He said there was a photo going in the paper of Cheick and I.

“He said it was me elbowing Cheick in the face – he just wanted to warn me about it.

“He asked what was the problem with me and him, was I fighting him?

“I just laughed! It was not me fighting him, we were having fun.

“Cheick is a strong lad, I am always playing games with him, pushing him and things like this.

“We say to each other ‘ I will kick you today, I will get you’ – he is that kind of lad.

“On Monday he was very good in training, but when we were lining up for a drill Pete (Lovenkrands) pushed him on one side I pushed him on the other. I told him: ‘It is a Cheick sandwich!’

“It was just a bit of fun, the papers had the wrong idea.

“I love Cheick. He works hard, works for everything and wants to make the most of his chance.”
