Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes Jose Mourinho's Chelsea side attempts to referee matches themselves.
?Scholes wrote on his column for the London Evening Standard that the Blues are always trying to influence the match officials as they tried to do in the Champions League Round of 16 second leg against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night.
?The former Red Devils star criticised Chelsea's behaviour when Zlatan Ibrahimovic slid in on Oscar during the first half at Stamford Bridge and suggests it has become part and parcel of the west Londoners' style.
?'I hardly need to say that it was not a red card for Ibrahimovic,' Scholes suggested.
?'I could tell that he knew he was going off when he looked up and saw every single outfield Chelsea player around the referee telling him to get his red card out. Chelsea have been doing it all season - if it is not the players trying to referee the game, then Mourinho does it from the touchline.
I accept that at Manchester United, we could also pressurise the referee at times and the picture of Andy D'Urso being backed into a corner is often held up in evidence. But we realised that it had become too extreme and from that point there was much less of it.
?'Chelsea would not be the first team to pressurise a referee but they have to know when they have gone too far.'???
