Blatter has been critical of Man Utd

Man Utd chief executive David Gill and manager Sir Alex Ferguson both criticised Blatter's comments over the Ferdinand affair.

Blatter told the Sunday Times: "We are in England at the end of February. We will definitely try and meet.

"By then the case should be over. I want to solve misunderstanding."

Ferdinand was given an eight-month ban at a hearing on 19 December after missing a drugs test at the club's training ground on 23 September.

Blatter added: "If you are in a family then you should observe the necessary discipline and respect to the rules of the family.

The Ferdinand case will be the textbook case once it's finished Fifa president Sepp Blatter

"Sometimes they [big clubs] do not understand the role or the part Fifa has to play and the responsibility a big club has towards the whole family of Fifa.

"The Premiership is the most attractive league in the world and the one with the highest audience, so it has more responsibilities than others."

Ferdinand has until 19 January to appeal against his punishment.

But Blatter criticised the length of time the Ferdinand case has taken.

He added: "I cannot understand this additional time of grace.

"If it had been dealt with in accordance with the Fifa regulations of the disciplinary committee then it should have been dealt with directly by suspending the player.

"Once that wasn't done, we left it to the FA and we have asked for the papers. When we have seen them we can say whether we are happy or not happy.

"The length of the ban didn't surprise me but we have to leave ourselves the option to intervene if we are not happy. This is the duty of Fifa.
