Man Utd belatedly handed FA punishment for Fulham antics after Aleksandar Mitrovic ban

Manchester United have been fined £65,000 by the FA for surrounding the referee in the chaotic moments during the FA Cup win over Fulham last month.

Earlier this week, Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic was slapped with an eight-game ban after being charged with violent and improper conduct in the 3-1 win for United. He was shown a straight red card by Chris Kavanagh after he grabbed the referee by the arm while protesting the quick-fire sending-off of Willian and Marco Silva.

There was chaos on the pitch at Old Trafford in the 71st minute when Willian handballed to stop Jadon Sancho’s shot from going in. The Fulham winger was dismissed for denying a goalscoring opportunity before Mitrovic and Silva were also given their marching orders for protesting too vociferously.
