Man Utd boss Ferguson turns up heat on ref Webb ahead of Chelsea clash

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson turned up the heat on ref Howard Webb ahead of tomorrow's blockbuster with Chelsea.

Ferguson says a series of key decisions have gone against his team in recent meetings with Chelsea.

And when asked if he was worried a major call could sink his side again, Fergie said: "That's definitely our big fear, to be honest. Howard Webb is definitely the best referee in the country. There's no doubt about that.

"We just hope it's our turn for a little bit of luck."

But Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti, whose side will replace United as leaders if they win tomorrow, refused to fall for Fergie's mind games.

The Italian declared: "You need two people to have a war and I am a pacifist. I have absolute trust in referees in England."
