Despite Sir Alex Ferguson claiming there was not a dirty tackle in the game, the Red Devils still ended up with the names of exactly half the playing members of their squad going into the notebook of referee Mike Riley.
That will be enough to trigger the involvement of Soho Square, who automatically act when the number reaches six.
And they might also end up looking at the clash between Rio Ferdinand and Didier Drogba right on the final whistle which left the Chelsea man needing treatment.
"It was a competitive game but I did not think there was one bad tackle in it," said Ferguson.
"The game is being screened worldwide. Everyone is watching it and something like that happens.
"People are saying what is going on here but it is difficult to say anything about the referee.
"I do not want to get involved."
Ferguson was clearly unhappy with Riley's performance, as were a number of his senior players.
And United's afternoon did not get much less stormy after they had left Stamford Bridge as their team coach was attacked on the short trip to Euston station.
A bottle was hurled from the pavement, cracking the windscreen, although no-one was injured, with United officials eager to play down the incident afterwards.
"Yes. There was an incident but the matter is now in the hands of the police," said a club spokesman.
At least Riley received the backing of Chelsea coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, who noted the FA's recent 'Respect' initiative aimed at greater co-operation between players and officials.
"I am not surprised," said Scolari. "That is what the referee is there for.
"If players do not respect him, it should be yellow and red cards. It doesn't matter who you are - Liverpool or Manchester United, whoever."
However, the Chelsea coach said he was puzzled at the bizarre ending, with Riley blowing for time as Drogba was about to receive treatment.
"It was strange that he finished the game at that time but we need to accept his decision."
