Manchester United have been fined £65,000 by the Football Association after accepting a charge relating to an incident in the second half of last month's 3-1 FA Cup quarter-final win over Fulham at Old Trafford.
The charge related to United's players surrounding referee Chris Kavanagh as they appealed for a penalty after Willian had handled Jadon Sancho's shot on the line. Fulham had been the better side for much of the contest and had taken the lead five minutes into the second half through Aleksandar Mitrovic.
However, the contest boiled over in a dramatic 40-second spell that saw manager Marco Silva, Mitrovic and Willian sent off after protesting the decision that saw United given a spot-kick. Silva was dismissed for his touchline protests during a VAR check, Willian was dismissed for handling the ball on the line and Mitrovic was sent-off for leading the protests and shoving referee Kavanagh.
