Manchester United have demanded the transcript of Patrice Evra's improper conduct hearing, with saw the Frenchman incur a four match ban for his part in the 'Battle of Stamford Bridge' in April. United will only be in a position to decide their next course of action once they hear from the FA.

"What can anyone say? It is a terrible black mark against the FA," Reds chief Sir Alex Ferguson told MUTV.

"A lot of people have been ringing about it because it is the most incredible decision in my time at this club.

"The FA have done many things but this is absolutely beyond me.

"Can you believe we are still waiting for the official confirmation of it? They have been doing that report to make sure it is 100% watertight.

"We have asked for the transcript. That is important because we are not happy."
