Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and striker Wayne Rooney could face an FA investigation after both allegedly hurled abuse at a referee.
Newspaper reports claim they berated Steve Bennett during the half-time interval of the 3-1 defeat at Manchester City on Saturday.
Rooney is said to have damaged United's dressing-room door as he joined his boss in a tirade at Bennett.
Ferguson also wants the red card shown to Cristiano Ronaldo reconsidered.
The Portuguese winger was shown a straight red by Bennett for a lunging tackle on Andy Cole midway through the second half of the Manchester derby.
"The referee's decided it's a red card and I think he should look at it again really," Sir Alex told MUTV.
