Manchester United are happy for the Football Association to investigate the incidents at Stamford Bridge which followed their 2-1 defeat by Chelsea, manager Alex Ferguson said on Monday.

United players Patrice Evra, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Gerard Pique, Park Ji-sung and John O'Shea were warming down after Chelsea's 2-1 victory on Saturday when ground staff asked them to move to another area of the pitch. A row developed and Chelsea security staff pulled the parties apart.

"We are filing a report and it will be sent to the FA," Ferguson told a news conference. "We are very happy with that. We are delighted with that. We hope the FA investigates it."

The FA have said they will request CCTV footage of the incidents.
