Manchester United charged with failing to control players against Newcastle.ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/1440E/production/_127185928_gettyimages-1433854285.jpgManchester United's players, led by Bruno Fernandes, remonstrate with referee Craig Pawson during the draw with Newcastle Manchester United have been charged by the Football Association after their players surrounded referee Craig Pawson during Sunday's game against Newcastle. United's players reacted angrily after Pawson disallowed a Cristiano Ronaldo goal during the 0-0 draw at Old Trafford. The referee included the incident in his report on the match. United "failed to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion", according to the FA charge. The Manchester United players surrounded Pawson when he ruled Newcastle had not taken a free-kick before Ronaldo raced up to nick possession away from goalkeeper Nick Pope and tap into an empty net, believing defender Fabian Schar had rolled it to his team-mate. However Pawson disallowed the goal, and booked Ronaldo as he led his team-mates' angry reaction to the decision. Manager Erik Ten Hag also went straight to Pawson at the final whistle, and said afterwards: "I don't have a comment. I shared that with them. Everyone has seen it." Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, meanwhile, was certain Schar only touched the ball to Pope so he could take the kick. "It was clear Fabian wasn't taking the kick and he was allowing Nick to do it," he said. "Nick was waiting to deliver the free-kick. That would have been a very, very difficult decision to swallow."

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is delaying contract decisions over the futures of Spain goalkeeper David de Gea, 31, and England striker Marcus Rashford, 24.
Barcelona are monitoring the situation of 23-year-old Manchester United's Portugal right-back Diogo Dalot, whose contract runs out next summer, but has an option to be extended for a year by the Old Trafford club.
Manchester United's director of football John Murtough has dampened any hopes of a January transfer spree by insisting the Red Devils are looking towards next summer's window.

Manchester United want to secure Marcus Rashford's future at Old Trafford before the end of the year to fend off interest.
The England forward, 25, will be free to open talks with foreign clubs in January unless he signs a new deal or a one-year option clause in his contract is activated.
Manchester United are also interested in signing England Under-21 right-back Max Aarons, 22, from Norwich City to challenge Portugal international Diogo Dalot, 23, with Bayer Leverkusen's Dutch 21-year-old Jeremie Frimpong another option.
Manchester United are still interested in signing PSV winger Cody Gakpo, 23, with the Dutchman having come close to signing for the Red Devils in the summer.

Marcus Rashford stats:
Played 371 career games Goals 115 = 0.309 Am I the only one who thinks Rashford is over rated? He's 25 now, so no longer a kid. He should be performing every game. He just hasn't reached the heights expected of him. |

Manchester United have made England midfielder Jude Bellingham their top transfer target as Erik ten Hag eyes a £100m deal for the 19-year-old Borussia Dortmund player.
United are "seriously considering" a move for Bayern Munich's Cameroon forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, 33.
However, United are not actively pursuing any incomings in the January transfer window after shattering their summer transfer record with an investment of £225.4m on five players.
Meanwhile, United are planning to trigger a clause in Diogo Dalot's contract to stop the 23-year-old Portugal defender from leaving as a free agent next summer. Barcelona and AC Milan are monitoring Dalot.

Manchester United are confident England forward Marcus Rashford, 25, and Portugal right-back Diogo Dalot, 23, will extend their contracts with the club.
They are among several players whose deals expire in the summer, including Spain goalkeeper David de Gea, 31, England left-back Luke Shaw, 27, and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo, 37.
Flamengo president Rodolfo Landim has said rumours linking Manchester United and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo to the Brazilian club are "creative", adding the 37-year-old would be a lot of money to pay for a substitute.

Gossip:Many Manchester United players do not think Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo will play for the club again after the 37-year-old said he did not respect manager Erik ten Hag during a controversial interview. Sporting Lisbon chief Frederico Varandas has denied reports linking the Portuguese club with a move for Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, saying a bid for the Manchester United and Portugal forward was never discussed. A mural of Ronaldo was removed from the side of Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium hours before his interview with Piers Morgan was aired on Wednesday. ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/12F7F/production/_127659677_ronaldoanddiogodalot.jpg France midfielder Adrien Rabiot, 27, says he feels "lucky" not to have completed a transfer from Juventus to Manchester United in the summer.

Cristiano Ronaldo: Manchester Utd explore legal action to force player's exit..ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/16B45/production/_127679929_ronaldo.jpgManchester United are exploring their legal options as they look to end Cristiano Ronaldo's time at the club. It is accepted at United that Ronaldo cannot play for manager Erik ten Hag again following his fierce criticism of the Dutchman in his TalkTV interview. He has just over seven months remaining on his £500,000-a-week contract...(£14m to not play) United could terminate the Portuguese forward's contract, which would leave him free to sign for another club when the transfer window opens in January. It is understood they are loath to offer the 37-year-old any kind of pay-off given how strongly they feel about the situation. The club want the matter dealt with quickly to avoid it spilling over into the second half of the season. In his interview, Ronaldo said he felt "betrayed by the club" and stated he had "no respect" for Ten Hag, adding he felt he was being forced out of the club. United responded on Friday with a statement to say they have "initiated appropriate steps" in response. Ronaldo will captain Portugal at the World Cup in Qatar, with their opening Group H game against Ghana on Thursday. He has not played because of an unspecified illness since he captained United in their 3-1 defeat at Aston Villa on 6 November Ronaldo was dropped for the Premier League game at Chelsea last month by Ten Hag after refusing to come on as a substitute against Tottenham three days earlier. The Red Devils, who beat Fulham 2-1 on Sunday, are fifth in the Premier League in Ten Hag's first season as manager.

Surprised united haven't come out with something a little stronger than the response that they have "initiated appropriate steps".
Ironically this points to the deficiencies at top management that Ronaldo was pointing out!
If Sir Alex was still there Ronaldo would have been publicly humiliated and thrown out of the Club. Look what happened to Jaap Stam for writing a not very controversial book...

The decision follows a controversial interview in which the 37-year-old criticised the club and said he had "no respect" for manager Erik ten Hag.

"I love Manchester United and I love the fans, that will never ever change. However, it feels like the right time for me to seek a new challenge. "I wish the team every success for the remainder of the season and for the future."
