APA number of United stars reacted furiously when the ref initially showed Lewis Dunk a yellow card
However, several United stars surrounded referee Peter Bankes after Brighton captain Lewis Dunk fouled Anthony Elanga early in the second half.
The official initially showed Dunk a yellow card, but that was upgraded to a red after consultation with VAR.
The initial decision to only caution the defender was protested vociferously by a number of United players.
Fernandes was also booked for his over-the-top reaction during the protest.
Now the FA have announced that they are set to take action against Ralf Rangnick’s side.
A statement read: “Manchester United FC has been charged with a breach of FA Rule E20.1 following its Premier League game against Brighton & Hove Albion FC on Tuesday [15/2/22].
