Manchester United chief executive David Gill believes the Football Association singled out the club for "harsh" punishments last season.
Striker Wayne Rooney was banned for two matches for swearing into a TV camera.
Boss Sir Alex Ferguson was also handed a five-game touchline ban for comments made about referee Martin Atkinson.
"There were some poor-ish decisions that wouldn't have necessarily hit others - the actual punishments were harsh," said FA board member Gill.
