The Scot blasts the Football Association for treating the Red Devils unfairly despite the fact that they provide several players to the England international set-up
Sir Alex Ferguson has hit out at the FA, claiming that harsher punishments are dealt out to Manchester United even though the club provides many players to the England national team.
The United boss was handed a five-match touchline ban last season for criticizing referee Martin Atkinson, while striker Wayne Rooney was given a two-match suspension for swearing at a television camera when celebrating a goal.
"The FA may realize who has produced more players for their country than any club in the world," Sir Alex said. "Maybe they will realise how important we are to England instead of treating us like s***."
The Scot's comments come ahead of England's Euro 2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Wales in September, with Fabio Capello set to name his squad for the matches on Sunday evening.
"It's not a problem, it's fantastic," he said. "Maybe they will realize how important we are to England. I am pleased for the players. They are outstanding."
