The FA have revealed that a Manchester United coach has been charged with misconduct after United defeated Brentford last weekend.
With the game goalless heading into first-half stoppage time, referee Samuel Barrott forced Matthijs de Ligt off the pitch to receive treatment for a head wound that was bleeding profusely.
With the Dutch defender on the sidelines, Brentford took the lead through an Ethan Pinnock header causing chaos in the technical area.
Both Erik ten Hag and his assistant Ruud van Nistelrooy were booked for their reactions on the touchline, while an animated Darren Fletcher could be seen angrily protesting the decision as both teams left the pitch for half time.
The incensed Scotsman continued to express his disapproval of the decision to both Barrott and fourth official Gavin Ward inside the tunnel, with the FA ruling post-match that Fletcher may have fallen foul of misconduct regulations.
A statement from the FA read: 'Darren Fletcher has been charged with misconduct following Manchester United 's fixture against Brentford on Saturday, 20 October, in the Premier League.
'It's alleged that the coach acted in an improper and/or confrontational manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words towards the fourth official and the referee and/or assistant referees.
'Darren Fletcher has until Tuesday, 29 October, to respond.'
Despite falling behind just before the interval, United responded well in the second half with goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund sealing just the club's third Premier League win of the season.
