But they don't have "Scary Harry" on their side. So it is ok.
Official: #mufc have been charged by the FA for failing to ensure players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion against Brighton.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Doesn’t this happen at some point in almost every professional game played?
Players complain about refereeing mistake. Ref gets told by his colleague that it was a very obvious mistake. Ref changes decision because it was a very obvious mistake. Ref books United player for complaining about said obvious mistake. Now FA doubles down and charges United for complaining about obvious mistake.
Maybe they should focus on training their refs to make the right calls every now and then? I'd love for our official response to be "make the right calls and this doesn't happen". It's very obvious that VAR doesn't step in if United players don't show that they are very aggrieved by the decision.
De Gea gets elbowed in the face and drops the ball, nobody complains -> no review
Son gets touched by a finger when trying to tackle McTominay, stays down for three minutes acting like he's got a concussion while Spurs are on the ref's case about it -> goal disallowed.

Is this serious? Every team crowds the ref and when we do it, we get charged. If anything, our players should do it more. A lot of the time, most of our players accept the bullshit. It's usually Bruno that complains the most.
Not really. We are probably crowding the ref for the first time this season. We usually stay back and moan to ourselves when blatant handballs and penalties are ignored.
Refs have completely forgotten what it means to be crowded by United players and are now scared at this new phenomenon.
Of course they have. They've got their mistresses to keep happy.
The FA is such a joke, Liverpool have done this weekly for years and I've yet to hear of them getting charged...
Hard not to believe there is an ABU agenda nowadays. They make it sound like other team/ certain teams never do this type of stuff.

I’m guessing the FA have never seen a Chelsea game, where the likes of Azpilicueta hound the ref into submission every game.
He's the fecking worst
Standing next to the ref being in his ear while he's watching the VAR monitor and the ref does absolutely nothing.Edit: Just rewatched the highlights of that game. Hudson-Odoi standing right behind the referee for the handball call against us a year ago, Azpilicueta drags him away sort of but he's still standing there making comments to the ref as he's watching the video. And interestingly, the referee who rejected that VAR intervention and didn't give a penalty to us was...
....Rebekah Vardy
...no actually
...Stuart Attwell.

Are you fecking kidding me?!
we were hardly out of control either?!
not 1 push or shove or sign of aggression. just lots of confused faces. strange ref.

And he got a yellow anyway. I didn't think it was anything out of the ordinary at the time, apart from thinking Bruno must have said something he shouldn't have.
I bet Barcelona will never be charged for that, when they would be in the Premier League.
Yeah, Bruno definitely said something he shouldn't have, but it didn't seem that bad overall. I've seen way worse from Chelsea and Liverpool this season. It's bullshit.
Good. They should show that spirit more often. I bet the Brighton player would escape the red card without the team howling at the ref. Far too often we accept blatantly wrong decisions. Our players don’t need to watch their conduct if refereeing is up to the standards.
So if the Ref does his job right it would be a non issue.
Bruno wouldn´t have gotten a yellow card and Utd wouldn´t have been charged.
My god how the mighty have fallen, Chelsea, City, Liverpool and many others do this all the time it´s a farce.

The FA ist absolutely ridiculous at times
Yeah they can feck off. I hope we make a video tape of every single occurrence of the same sort of protest happening and mail it to the FA in response.
They should respond with a video montage of all the other teams doing it throughout the season and tell the FA to either charge everyone or to go piss up a rope.
Failing to control what? Do they expect the manager to run onto the pitch and sing a pacifying lullaby to the players?
I desperately want football to follow rugby’s rules and only let captain talk to referee.
That or mic up the referee so we hear what players tell them.
It’s crazy that we get punished given that every team does it, but it still bullshit seeing how Bruno was practically harassing the ref.

Remember that game against Chelsea when Atkinson fecked us over immensely and ultimately cost us the title? What did the FA do then? FA = fecking arseholes. They are nothing but a joke. One thing I have always wondered is where the money from all these fines they collect go.
Biggest joke from the FA in a while. Those feckers can all eat shit, especially when all teams do that when a potential red card is in play.
The FA perhaps need charging with failing to control their refs, var and themselves
Who cares? Our players need to put referees more under pressure. To ask questions. To show some fighting spirit. We need more of old school passion. ManCity, Liverpool and Chelsea does it every game so why not us? If TheFA want to charge us we should just answer that we don't care.Tweet

Few articles popping up about this now but I can only see ones from red tops currently so won't post links.
Why is every other team allowed to crowd the ref but not us?
Edit : More info here https://www.eurosport.com/football/...es-during-brighton-win_sto8797863/story.shtml
This means in the past 10 days we have had a perfectly fair goal disallowed, a handball goal scored against us and, now, getting charged for something that happens in every game in the country.
Are they talking about the red that VAR had change because the ref got it wrong?
People seem weirdly worked up over this. £80k or whatever out of the Glazers' pockets. To suggest there's a conspiracy against United would be to accept that they're capable of maintaining a coherent policy on anything for more than 3 seconds.
Still infuriates me to this day! One of the biggest hypocrites in world football.He's the fecking worst

Evra 4 match ban?
Klopp froths in the face of officials on the reg and it never gets a mention.I swear every team in the land does this once a month
FTFY.
Brighton should have been charged too.
Will like to see this become a precedent. the incessant whining and moaning to the refs gets me so riled up.
After Southampton kept badgering the ref on Saturday and somehow ended up with no bookings to our four, yeah I'm not surprised our players did it in this game. Mistake was so many of them doing it at once.
Wait, what? Since when did a few seconds of crowding the referee turn into disorderly conduct? Maguirre pretty much had them all disperse just about as quickly as they got there...
The FA love charging us for no reason.
Remember Cavani?
Remember Cavani?
Serves us right. We were absolutely mobbing the poor man. Probably thought he was going to be beaten by Maguire as he's known to throw blows and ask questions later.
I actually thought we went over the top. Ronaldo even touched him iirc. Poor precedent to do nothing about. FA might want to bring one of those African referees for our next game.
Should keep doing it and eat the fines tbf
What a joke
We will get fined for wearing red shirts next

Don't get what there is to argue about? They were around the ref like a bunch of babies. Double distasteful when it's to try and get an opponent sent off as well. You don't see it every game at all.
You'd think from the posts in here no team had ever been charged with anything like this before when actually it's fairly standard. It'll be a fine like it always is.
