Sir Alex Ferguson has told Jose Mourinho to 'button his lip' as the Premiership title run-in reaches its crucial phase. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></DIV>
Manchester United head to Liverpool tomorrow lunchtime knowing victory will open up a 12-point lead over Chelsea, who visit Portsmouth later in the day.
Most pundits assume a Red Devils win on Merseyside will effectively clinch the title.
Ferguson is not quite going that far, however he has noted with amusement the statements coming out of Chelsea about his club, with Mourinho suggesting United were getting all the luck and were benefiting from key refereeing decisions - specifically in the recent wins over Tottenham and Lille.
'All the managers seem to be coming out with little things,' smiled Ferguson. 'I see even Neil Warnock threw his oar in yesterday.
'I know Jose has come out and said things this week but we expected that. He is the last person who should be talking about referees.
'His football club have been involved with so many things with referees over the last few years.
'It seems to me when anything goes against Chelsea or they don't get their own way, someone has a go at the referee.
'It is an incredible club. Maybe he should button his lip.'
