Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is furious at the decision to cancel the Chelsea captain John Terry shipment last weekend.
Terry is now free to face United at Stamford Bridge on Sunday after winning an appeal against his straight red card for serious foul play in Chelsea's 3-1 Premier League win at Manchester City.
Ferguson said that a United player in the same situation would not have been so fortunate. The Scots cree that the appeal verdict was influenced by Keith Hackett, head of the Professional Game Match Officials Board, and not referee Mark Halsey.
Ferguson, quoted in The Times, said: "From what I heard, Keith Hackett said the referee to cancel the red card and he did not do so.
"Had I been a Manchester United player, Keith Hackett have not. If the arbitrator has made a mistake, this is going to happen all the time."
