Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has questioned
referees' chief Keith Hackett over his decision to meet Chelsea
boss Jose Mourinho.
Hackett agreed to meet Mourinho over criticism of referee Graham
Poll's handling of Sunday's game between Chelsea and
Tottenham.
Ferguson posed the question: "Does Hackett ever to go meet Arsene
Wenger, or Rafa Benitez or this old guy here?
"Is there preference going out to Chelsea? It seems
ludicrous."
Ferguson described Poll as the best referee in England.
"That's why he gets the big games, because he's the best at making
the big decisions," said the United manager.

But Ferguson believes it may now be wrong to put Poll in charge of
United's match against Chelsea at Old Trafford on 26
November.
"I would like him in a way, but with all this controversy I don't
know whether it would be a good thing. I'm fearing he gets the game
with all the controversy about Chelsea," said Ferguson.
