Aleksandar Mitrovic and Marco Silva apologise for red cards against Man United as Everton and Liverpool watch on

Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic and manager Marco Silva have apologised personally to referee Chris Kavanagh for their behaviour during the recent FA Cup tie with Manchester United.

Former Everton boss Silva and Serbia star Mitrovic were sent off for their remonstrations during the 3-1 quarter-final defeat to United at Old Trafford. The former reacted angrily on the touchline after United were awarded a penalty while the latter was also shown a red card after appearing to push the match official in the aftermath.

Both Everton and Liverpool are due to face the Cottagers upon the return of the Premier League from the international break. The Blues welcome Fulham to Goodison Park on April 15 while the Reds are at home to the same opponents in a rearranged game on May 3. Both Silva and Mitrovic could well be banned for those matches after the incidents against United.
