MANCHESTER UNITED chief Darren Fletcher faces an FA charge after claims of a fiery tunnel bust-up with officials.
United were furious as defender Matthijs de Ligt was ordered off the Old Trafford pitch in first-half stoppage time with blood on his head and face.
This was the result of an earlier injury which medics had twice tried to patch up.
As soon as De Ligt left the field, Brentford scored from a corner, sparking outrage with manager Erik ten Hag and No 2 Ruud van Nistelrooy booked for protesting.
Van Nistelrooy continued his protests down the tunnel, while former United midfielder and technical director Fletcher waited inside where he allegedly verbally confronted ref Sam Barrott and fourth official Gavin Ward.
The FA will now await the referee’s report before deciding whether to take further action.
United came back to win the game with Alejandro Garnacho scoring just after the break and Rasmus Hojlund getting a 62nd-minute winner.
Yet Ten Hag was still fuming with the ref’s decision after the game.
He raged: “It was dry blood so he was already treated for the injury.
“I didn’t understand why he was sent off.
“I went over to Matthijs and he said, ‘It is dry blood and I have to come off I don’t know why’.
“It was a huge moment because Brentford is very good at corners and you are missing one of your best headers.”

The so called MANCHESTER UNITED Chief Fletcher and Erik et hag are problems , they should all go.
Please kindly go away because Manchester united fans stands and fall together and that's what makes Manchester united different from other clubs. Every fan who enjoys sacking of club officials is not a good fan for manchester united.

To all man united fans here hear this if your coach and your staff can blame the ref decision to send someone with blood on his head out, it means man united can never go back to who day are before now because none of this people are intelligent.the rules says you cant play with blood on the pitch and the ref send you out for treatment and yet you still come in with blood,ur manager said it is dry blood at first the med should have clean the blood or change the cloth simple as that.
