Sir Alex Ferguson is blaming Carlos Tevez for Wayne Rooney's amazing spotkick miss against Arsenal.
The Red Devils chief labelled Sunderland's three-goal triumph over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last month as "a perfect performance", emphasising his own players will have to be on their guard at Old Trafford.
Certainly they can ill-afford another penalty miss by Rooney, whose failure against Arsenal a fortnight ago attracted attention for the striker's bizarre zig-zag run-up.
"Carlos Tevez used to do it," recalled Ferguson.
"Wayne didn't do it in training but he did it at Ibrox and it worked. In fact he tried to hit exactly the same spot.
"The one against Arsenal was an unusual penalty for him to take.
"I don't think he has ever hit one over the bar. It was a bad miss from his point of view but fortunately we got through the game."
