Both managers made positive remarks about World Cup final referee Webb ahead of the 8 May meeting of the title rivals at Old Trafford, contravening FA regulations which prohibit any comment - good or bad - about referees prior to games. The governing body's regulatory commission warned both managers as to their future conduct.
