Man Utd hit with £20k fine for player conduct after VAR intevention during Liverpool defeat

Manchester United have been fined £20,000 by the Football Association for failing to control their players during a defeat to Premier League leaders Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

Having gone ahead in the 14th minute through Virgil van Dijk's header, Liverpool thought they had a second when Roberto Firmino curled home soon after.

However, the goal was subsequently disallowed following a VAR check, with Van Dijk having been deemed to foul United goalkeeper David de Gea prior to Firmino's strike.
