Manchester United were charged on Tuesday by the English Football Federation (FA) after players from the Old Trafford team, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, surrounded referee Craig Pawson last Sunday against Newcastle when the referee disallowed a goal from the Portuguese .
United players reacted angrily after Pawson canceled out CR7’s goal with the score at Old Trafford 0-0 (also the final result). The referee included the incident in his match report. According to the FA’s statement, United “failed to ensure that their players behaved in an orderly manner.”
This is the 48th minute of the match, a foul for Newcastle. In action, Magpies central defender Fabian Schar played the ball to goalkeeper Nick Pope, when the keeper took the ball and stood up. At that moment, CR7 came to him, took the ball and scored the goal. However, the referee disallowed it. United footballers, led by Cristiano, surrounded Pawson who advised the Portuguese.
United manager Erik ten Hag also spoke directly to Pawson after the final whistle, saying afterwards: “I have no comment to make. I shared about my players. Everyone saw it.”
Meanwhile, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is sure Fabian Schar only touched the ball to Pope to win the free kick.
