Manchester United have been charged for an incident against Newcastle after Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal was disallowed.
At the start of the second half, an incident occurred where Manchester United felt they had scored a legitimate goal which was disallowed by the referees.
One of Newcastle’s defenders passed the ball to Nick Pope, but the England international believed the ball was out of play and prepared to take a free kick.
Ronaldo lunged forward and dribbled with the ball before scoring, but the referee disallowed the goal.
Manchester United players surrounded the referee in numbers and as a result the FA has announced that they have now been charged. You can read the full statement in the tweet below.

You can understand the frustration of the Manchester United players when the Newcastle defender clearly plays the ball, but with Pope preparing for his own free kick, it’s a bit of poor sportsmanship on Ronaldo’s part to try to take advantage.
The reaction of the Manchester United players, however, was completely unnecessary and it is not surprising to see the FA make this statement a few days later.
