Manchester United to pay £20k fine over players' misconduct

Manchester United have been hit with a £20,000 fine due to their players’ conduct during their 2 – 0 Premier League defeat to Liverpool on Sunday, January 19.

 

During the game, about seven United stars including Captain Harry Maguire, David de Gea, and Luke Shaw surrounded referee Craig Pawson to aggressively protest against his original decision after Roberto Firmino’s goal was allowed to stand despite Virgil Van Dijk’s foul on David de Gea.
