 Jenas said the penalty was a turning point in Saturday's match
|
Jermaine Jenas could face disciplinary action over his comments about referee Howard Webb following Tottenham's 5-2 defeat at Manchester United.
The Spurs and England midfielder accused Webb of "crumbling under pressure" after the hosts were awarded a controversial penalty while 2-0 down.
An Football Association spokesman said: "We have written to Jermaine to ask for an explanation for his remarks."
He has seven days to respond before the FA decides whether to take any action.
Following Saturday's match, Jenas stated: "I think it was a case of a referee crumbling under the pressure at Old Trafford really.
"The atmosphere, the occasion, the importance of the match, a lot of factors take their toll when making decisions."
He was also quoted as saying: "One thing which struck me about it was that he [Webb] didn't even think [about the penalty decision].
"It was like he'd already made his mind up when he came out for the second half that he was going to give something."
