Man United charged by FA for referee intervention in Brighton win

"Manchester United FC has been charged with a breach of FA Rule E20.1 following its Premier League game against Brighton & Hove Albion FC on Tuesday [15/2/22]," reads a statement from the FA as quoted by the MEN.

"It is alleged that Manchester United FC failed to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during the 53rd minute, and the club has until Monday [21/2/22] to provide a response."

The Red Devils beat Brighton 2-0 but the win was marred by a controversy that broke out over Lewis Dunk's red card.

The centre-back brought down Anthony Elanga and was shown a yellow card by referee Peter Bankes.

United players then surrounded Bankes and Bruno Fernandes was even booked for his protests.

However, we weren't wrong because that incident led to a VAR intervention which made the referee show a red then.

The decision to charge us for that seems a little harsh.
