Sir Bobby Charlton has branded Jose Mourinho "silly" and "senseless" for complaining there is one rule for Manchester United and another for Chelsea where penalties are concerned.
Chelsea boss Mourinho was incensed that Manchester United avoided two spot-kicks being awarded against them in the past week, while his own club had a handball appeal rejected at Newcastle on Sunday.
Both Sheffield United and Middlesbrough had what appeared strong claims for penalties waved away in their Barclays Premiership trips to Old Trafford, prompting Mourinho to say: "It looks like there is a rule in football that it is forbidden to give a penalty against Manchester United."
