Dean falls foul of Fergie again after Rafa red

MANCHESTER UNITED manager Alex Ferguson saw his long-running feud with referee Mike Dean surface again yesterday following Rafael Da Silva’s dismissal at White Hart Lane.

United returned to the Premier League summit after a goalless draw but had to play the last 16 minutes against Tottenham with 10 men after Rafael was given a second yellow card for tangling legs with Benoit Assou-Ekotto.

“It’s not worth discussing because everyone can see that,” Ferguson said. “It’s out of my bounds now. Thank God.”
