Manchester United charged by FA over Brighton game incident

Manchester United have been charged with failing to control their players after they surrounded referee Peter Bankes in their 2-0 win against Brighton on Tuesday night.

Bankes showed Lewis Dunk a yellow card after he pulled back Anthony Elanga in the 53rd minute of the game. Elanga had stolen possession and looked to be through on goal before the defender impeded him.

The referee initially judged that Adam Webster would have got back to cover Elanga but United's players were furious at the award of a yellow card and made their feelings clear. Bruno Fernandes was booked for his reaction.
