Aleksandar Mitrovic facing a long ban as FA say standard three-game punishment for shoving ref Chris Kavanagh is 'clearly insufficient'... with Fulham manager Marco Silva also charged after three red cards in 40 seconds at Old Trafford

Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is facing a lengthy ban after the Football Association announced the standard punishment for his dismissal against Manchester United would be 'clearly insufficient'.

Mitrovic gave Fulham the lead in Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final at Old Trafford but was sent off after trying to grab referee Chris Kavanagh's arm during a chaotic couple of minutes.

Willian and head coach Marco Silva were also given their marching orders during that period but it is the conduct of Mitrovic in Fulham's 3-1 defeat that has come under particular scrutiny.

Fulham have been charged by the FA with failing to 'ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion', while Silva has been accused of several misdemeanours.
