Graham Poll....."The difference at Old Trafford now is that referees arrive with the knowledge that Sir Alex Ferguson is no longer present.
"When I travelled to Old Trafford, I was well aware of the ‘Fergie factor’. If I gave a ‘soft’ decision against them or did not add enough time on, then I knew he would let me know, in no uncertain times, that I had erred.
"In the early days I must concede that probably affected me. The way I decided to cope with this was to raise my tolerance level where penalties were concerned."
