[Folami David]

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson is facing disciplinary action by the Football Association {FA} after criticising a linesman for denying his team a penalty in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Tottenham.
.
An FA statement Monday said the governing body had '' contacted Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson to ask him for his observations in relation to comments he made in the media following Manchester United's draw Tottenham yesterday ''.
.
After the match, Ferguson hit out at assistant refree Simon Beck, who kept his flag down despite Steven Caulker appearing to trip United substitute Wayne Rooney inside the spurs 16-yard box in the 63rd minute.
.
'' It was clear penalty kick on Wayne Rooney, but in no way was the linesman going to give that '' Ferguson said.
