Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes being a "high profile" club makes himself and the Red Devils a favourite target of the Football Association.

The Scot is facing an FA charge of improper conduct after unleashing a tirade against linesman Simon Beck after he failed to spot an apparent penalty on Wayne Rooney in the 1-1 draw against Tottenham last Sunday.
English football's governing body will now on Tuesday make a decision what action, if any, will be taken against the manager, but Ferguson feels it is the club's image, and not his comments, that have the FA hot and heavy.
"I just think it is more about me than what I've said. Whether I think it is unfair or not doesn't matter to them really at this point," he told The Sun.
Ferguson has already written to the FA outlining his comments to the match official, claiming they were focused on Beck's performance, and nothing to do with bias.
"That is what I have put in my letter exactly. But you know the FA," he added.
"You never know. It is one of these things. We are high profile."
