Man Utd boss Ferguson avoids FA action over linesman comments
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has avoided a disciplinary charge over his criticism of linesman Darren Cann in Sunday's 3-3 draw at Chelsea, Press Association Sport reports.
Ferguson was angered at Cann's decision not to flag for a foul by Gary Cahill on Danny Welbeck after the Red Devils striker raced through in the first half.
The United boss thought Chelsea debutant Cahill should have been sent off as he was the last man, and launched an angry tirade against Cann after the match.
It is understood the Football Association feel the Scottish tactician was within his rights to criticise Cann, and that he did not question the assistant referee's integrity with his comments.
