The English FA has charged Manchester United and Crystal Palace for the mass brawl between their players during their Premier League last Saturday.
Manchester United won the game with goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.
And in the 67th minute Palace midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp put in a heavy challenge on Manchester United’s Antony.
The former Ajax man went down theatrically but quickly got to his feet as his teammates went to confront Schlupp over the challenge.
This led to a mass confrontation between both sets of players.
Though 20 players were involved in all, only Antony and Schlupp were booked while Casemiro was shown the red card.
“Manchester United FC and Crystal Palace FC have been charged following a mass confrontation between their players in the 67th minute of the Premier League fixture on Saturday February 2023,” an FA statement on Thursday read.
The statement said that it was alleged the Red Devils and Patrick Vieira’s side failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion.
Both teams have until Monday to respond to the charges.
