Sir Alex Ferguson has launched a bitter attack on Joe Cole for the tackle he felt should have seen Chelsea reduced to nine men at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
Chelsea were already a goal and a man down when Cole launched himself at Cristiano Ronaldo during the second half of his side's 2-0 defeat to Manchester United.
Getting nowhere near the ball, Cole caught Ronaldo crudely on the ankle but was only booked by referee Mike Dean, a move which triggered a furious reaction from Ferguson, whose mood had not changed after the final whistle.
"Joe Cole should have been sent off," said the Scot.
"Tackles like that are a danger to players. He went right down the back of his leg and could have done some real damage.
"It is the type of thing Cristiano is facing all the time now but Cole got off with it because the referee was balancing things out after the first sending-off."
