Following a thrilling conclusion to the game, Man Utd and Chelsea tied 1-1 over the weekend in the Premier League.
Several United players objected to Chelsea being given a penalty.
The Football Association (FA) has charged Manchester United for allegedly acting improperly after Chelsea was given a penalty last weekend.
Jorginho’s penalty kick was negated by Casemiro’s header late in extra time as United salvaged a thrilling draw at Stamford Bridge.

After Scott McTominay was fouled while attempting to defend a Chelsea corner, Jorginho scored from the penalty spot to give Graham Potter’s team the advantage.
When the ball was sent into the box, Armando Broja and the Scotland international grappled for possession of the ball; the latter was penalised for doing so.
The players for United felt betrayed by the judgement given how frequently comparable acts go unpunished on a weekly basis, even though McTominay’s conduct were sanctioned by the letter of the law.
Several United players complained to referee Attwell after the penalty was given, which led to a subsequent FA charge for violating rule E20.1.
The rule broken reads, “Each Affiliated Association, Competition and Club shall be responsible for ensuring that its Directors, players, officials, employees, servants, representatives, conduct themselves in an orderly manner while attending any Match and do not use words or behave in any other way that is improper, offensive, violent, threatening, abusive, indecent, insulting or provocative.”
United has until the evening of Friday, October 28, 2022, to respond.
