Tony Pulis bemoaned the referee's failure to send Gary Neville off in Stoke City's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United. Referee Andre Marriner had a big call to make when veteran Neville clattered into Matthew Etherington in the first half after already collecting a booking.
Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson was then given the opportunity to bring the 35-year-old off at half-time to avoid going down to 10 men.
The Potters chief told Sky Sports: "We're desperately disappointed. If that was a Stoke player at Old Trafford do you think he'd still be on the pitch?
"Their player should have been sent off in my opinion and if we're at Old Trafford and a Stoke player makes two challenges like that then he sends him off."
Pulis insists Stoke's goalscorer Tuncay Sanli has a future at the club despite recent speculation suggesting he will leave the Potters in the January transfer window.
The Stoke boss added: "Tunny has been as good as gold.
"People report this and that and obviously he's disappointed because he wants to play all the time but you have to accept that.
He's a good lad."
