The Fulham manager, Marco Silva, has said Aleksandar Mitrovic should be spared a lengthy ban despite pushing the referee, Chris Kavanagh, during a tumultuous 3-1 FA Cup defeat at Old Trafford.
Mitrovic, as well as Silva and Willian, were sent off in the 70th minute after Kavanagh awarded United a penalty for a handball by the Brazilian. The Serb will definitely be suspended for three games for violent conduct but could face a more severe punishment for his actions.
