Manchester United and Crystal Palace have been charged by the Football Association.
This was a result of the incident that led to Casemiro’s dismissal in their Premier League match last Saturday.
Casemiro was shown a red card after grabbing Will Hughes around the neck during a fracas that involved a whole host of players in the Red Devils’ 2-1 Premier League win at Old Trafford.
Both clubs were on Thursday charged by the FA.
A Premier League statement read:
“Manchester United FC and Crystal Palace FC have been charged following a mass confrontation between their players in the 67th minute of the Premier League fixture on Saturday 4 February 2023,”
“It’s alleged that both clubs failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from provocative behaviour.
“It’s also alleged that Manchester United FC failed to ensure its players refrained from violent behaviour.
“Manchester United FC and Crystal Palace FC have until Monday 13 February 2023 to respond.”
Casemiro has already served the first match of his three-game ban, missing Wednesday’s 2-2 draw with Leeds United.
He will sit out the return fixture with the Whites on Sunday, and their subsequent clash with Leicester City.
