Manchester United 0 Portsmouth 1 (FA Cup)

Ferguson was absolutely furious at the referee after they were defeated by a penalty from Sulley Muntari. The visitors snatched a 1-0 win over the weekend at Old Trafford as United's treble dreams went up in smoke.

Ferguson told MUTV,'It's absolutely ridiculous,I cannot explain it. Managers get sacked because of things like that and he's going to referee a game next week.'

Ferguson also pointed out that referee Martin Atkinson were too lenient on Portsmouth and criticised referees boss Keith Hackett for his lack of action dealing with poor performing referees.

A dream gone but Man Utd can now concentrate on the League title and Champion's league game.
