Manchester United star Harry Maguire is facing a stern warning from the Football Association (FA) after a heated moment on the pitch during the Red Devils' match against Bournemouth on March 20. The England defender was given his marching orders in the 78th minute of the Premier League clash after a dramatic red card for pushing Bournemouth forward Evanilson to the ground in the penalty area.
Referee Stuart Attwell initially pointed to the spot, despite earlier waving away a similar challenge on Amad in the Bournemouth box. Maguire was visibly upset by the decision and took his frustrations out on the fourth official as he left the pitch. Now, the FA has charged Maguire with improper conduct, alleging that he behaved in an unacceptable manner towards the fourth official.
The FA statement confirms that Maguire has until April 2 to provide a response to the charge, which claims that he used abusive and/or insulting language or behavior towards the fourth official during his exit from the game. This could potentially lead to further disciplinary action from the governing body.
