The Football Association has charged Manchester United with failing to control their players after they crowded around referee Craig Pawson in their 2-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday.

United players protested vociferously at Pawson after Roberto Firmino scored in the 26th minute. Pawson eventually disallowed the goal after Virgil van Dijk was deemed to have fouled David De Gea in the buildup.

Per Sky Sports, an FA statement read: "Manchester United FC has been charged with a breach of FA Rule E20(a). It is alleged that the club failed to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during the 26th minute of the Premier League fixture against Liverpool FC on Sunday.
