FA told to give Aleksandar Mitrovic 10-game ban for Man Utd red card outburst

Aleksandar Mitrovic should be handed a 10-game ban after his actions in Fulham's FA Cup loss, according to former Premier League referee Mark Halsey.

The Serbian had put the Cottagers 1-0 up at Manchester United as they threatened a quarter-final upset but was sent off 22 minutes after his strike as the visitors capitulated. Mitrovic was seething after a VAR call had - correctly - given United a penalty and decided to take his frustration out on the official, Chris Kavanagh.

He and the referee were in close proximity and Mitrovic threw some verbals in his direction before going on to shove him, prompting Kavanagh to send him off. This came just seconds after he'd also shown red to Willian for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity.
