Manchester United have been handed yet another FA charge for failing to control their players during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea, less than a week after receiving a similar punishment against Newcastle.

Casemiro's 94th minute equaliser at Stamford Bridge rescued a point for the Red Devils, who fell behind after Scott McTominay conceded a penalty for hauling down Armando Broja in the box ten minutes earlier.

The FA released the following statement on Wednesday: 'Manchester United FC has been charged with a breach of FA Rule E20.1 after its fixture versus Chelsea FC on Saturday 22 October 2022 in the Premier League.


'Manchester United allegedly failed to ensure that its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion in the 84th minute, and the club has until Friday 28 October 2022 to provide a response.'


The Red Devils were reprimanded with a similar charge following their 0-0 stalemate against Newcastle eight days earlier.


According to the governing body, Manchester United failed to control their players in the 49th minute, when a handful of their furious stars surrounded referee Craig Pawson after he disallowed a goal scored by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Defending his team on that occasion, Erik ten Hag said after the Newcastle game: 'I don't think it was too strong. It wasn't really aggressive but I don't know what's happening exactly on the pitch, I was too far away. I saw it back on the video. 


'There was a touch from the Newcastle player, quite clear, and they went to the referee to ask about it.

'I want to express that we have always accepted the referee's decisions.

'Quite normal that you ask why in the moment. It was a curious incident. My view is that quickly you have to accept the ref's decision, there is VAR, you accept and move on.'
