Sporting president Filipe Soares Franco said: "I can only regret Queiroz's declaration about Veloso. Queiroz made unacceptable insinuations."
Queiroz said: "The club president is just trying to deflect away criticism of his team after we beat them."
Meanwhile, Gary Neville pulled out of United's reserve match with Sunderland last night.
