Sir Alex Ferguson suggested that Peter Crouch was getting away with committing infringements following Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Stoke.
The giant striker rescued a point for the Potters at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday as he headed in a Matthew Etherington corner to bring an end to United's 100 per cent record in the Premier League this season.
Ferguson admitted after the game that Crouch
had caused problems for his side but was far from happy with the way the striker went about his business.
had caused problems for his side but was far from happy with the way the striker went about his business."He fouls all the time. He gets off with it because of his height but he jumps on top of defenders all the time," said Ferguson.
"He has been doing that for a long time. Referees know that. Even with the goal he has maybe caught Phil Jones, but he is right above him.
"He is a handful in the air, there is no doubt about that."
Ferguson was keen to praise goalkeeper David de Gea, who pulled off a couple of important stops after United had taken the lead through Nani in the first half.
"He made a great save in the first half, knocked it round the post," said the United manager.
"He was very confident. He sailed through and showed terrific composure. Nothing disturbs him."
