Manchester United leapfrog Arsenal as Premier League's 'most fined' club

Manchester United have overtaken Arsenal as the Premier League's most fined club this season, following punishment from the FA for their part in the chaos that occurred during the 3-1 FA Cup win over Fulham last month.

United were handed a £65,000 fine by the Football Association for surrounding the referee during their appeals for a penalty when Willian handled Luke Shaw's shot on the line. Referee Chris Kavanagh went to the screen after a VAR referral dismissing the Brazilian as well as both Fulham boss Marco Silva and Aleksandr Mitrovic for dissent - the latter receiving an eight-game ban for his troubles.

Erik ten Hag's men were fined after admitting a charge of failing to conduct themselves in an orderly fashion in the 71st minute of the game, with several players surrounding Kavanagh in protest after he initially missed the handball.
