Manchester United have overtaken Arsenal as the most fined Premier League side this season, having paid out a whopping £202,000 to the Football Association.
United were slapped with a £65,000 fine on Thursday for surrounding the referee to appeal for a penalty in their chaotic 3-1 win over Fulham last month. Erik ten Hag’s side were punished after admitting a charge of failing to conduct themselves in an orderly fashion in the 71st minute of the game after Willian handballed to prevent Jadon Sancho’s shot from going in.
After United’s protests, Willian was shown the red card, while Aleksandar Mitrovic and manager Marco Silva were also dismissed in furious scenes. United have now also been punished for their part in the chaos.
