Manchester United charged for not controlling players in FA Cup quarter-final

Manchester United have been dealt another charge by the FA for failing to control their players after Willian handled the ball on the line.

It seems like whenever there’s a big moment in a game involving Manchester United, and the players are seen requesting information from the referee, we are dealt with fines for not keeping our players in control.

The counter argument to that is the Football Association only want the caption of either side in the referee’s ear if necessary, but football can become hostile. Why try to completely get rid of that.

Nothing out of hand happened other than Fulham striker Aleksander Mitrovic being sent off for his furious protests, along with manager Marco Silva, but none of this had anything to do with United.

After all, Fulham were the worse offenders.

Our players initially went unpunished for their mild protests.

A statement from the FA read, as per The Guardian: “Manchester United FC has been charged after its players surrounded a match official during the 71st minute of The FA Cup tie against Fulham FC on Sunday 19 March.

“It’s alleged that Manchester United FC failed to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or do not behave in a way which is improper. Manchester United FC has until Monday 27 March to respond.”
