Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has denied a Football Association charge over comments he made about an official after United's game at Tottenham. The Scottish tactician accused assistant referee Simon Beck of failing to give Wayne Rooney a "clear" penalty.
The FA asked Ferguson to explain his comments and charged the Scot on Tuesday, stating he implied the match official was motivated by bias.
He has requested a paper hearing, which the FA is yet to decide the date of.
