Manchester City has banned BBC reporter Dan Roan following claims from Patrick Vieira that he distorted the club’s Football Development Executive’s words in a recent interview.While representing Football Against Hunger, a campaign to tackle starvation in Africa, at the GMEX Convention Centre, the former midfielder was questioned regarding City’s title run-in and the threat of rival Manchester United.The resulting article quotes Vieira as claiming United gets favorable attention from referees, but the ex-Arsenal player has posted an immediate rebuttal, insisting that his words had been taken out of context.The reporter has now been banned from all "media activity” involving City.Speaking to the club’s official website, Vieira said: "I am very angry with Dan Roan. I feel he has misrepresented me. I made it clear in the interview twice that I wanted to avoid criticizing United and even stated that I didn’t watch the United game against Fulham and had not seen the incident to which the reporter referred."That part of the interview was ignored and my comments were taken completely out of context. I called the reporter twice to ask for a retraction and an apology which has not come.
