Roberto Di Matteo has criticised Sir Alex Ferguson for getting involved in Chelsea's argument with Mark Clattenburg.

Clattenburg has received the backing of the referees' union, but Di Matteo is not concerned about decisions going against his side in future. Questioned on whether officials may now treat Chelsea differently, he said: "I really hope not, and I believe that they won't. We have faith in the referees. "They are people that are under a lot of pressure, they are human beings like everyone else and sometimes mistakes can happen." As for his own players, he said: "We've been dealing with external situations for quite a period of time and we have been able to focus on our football, so we will just have to carry on like that."
