Man Utd boss Ferguson slams assistant ref

06 February 2012 - 13:33

Sir Alex Ferguson has slammed assistant referee Darren Cann, after he ruled out a blatant penalty foul by debutant Gary Cahill yesterday. The Chelsea defender brought down Danny Welbeck in the box, but no decision was given.

  • Predicted Man Utd line-up (3-4-2-1) vs Nottm Forest, Sesko dropped
  • Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Burnley, nine changes

  • Ferguson slammed the assistant for his role in the 3-3 draw yesterday, insisting that United should have had the early penalty.



    "They should have had a man sent off in the first half," said Ferguson.



    "That linesman [gave] a penalty against us from 40 yards away last year against Liverpool - and he can't see that?



    "That assistant referee, who's all too happy to flag at Old Trafford for penalty kicks, didn't give them."
