Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has slammed Police chief Mark Payne for weighing into the Wayne Rooney debate.
Payne claimed he would have expected his officers to have arrested Rooney had the striker's F-word rant at West Ham United occurred in a public place.
"Everyone has an opinion today," he said.
"There is an issue in the modern world of a need to be noticed.
"There is a wee guy, sitting down there in the Midlands, probably never been recognised in his life, managed to elevate himself to whatever it is in the police force.
"Have you ever seen Wolverhampton on a Saturday night? Do police ever arrest anyone for swearing on a Saturday night? Dearie me. That is a good one."
