Summary Manchester United was charged with failing to control their players during FA Cup quarter-final

LONDON (AFP) - Manchester United was charged on Tuesday by the Football Association (FA) with failing to control their players during the explosive FA Cup quarter-final with Chelsea, English football s ruling body said.

United s Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera was sent off in the first half shortly after referee Michael Oliver warned captain Chris Smalling about the continual fouling of Chelsea s playmaker Eden Hazard.

United s Argentine defender Marcos Rojo was also caught on camera seemingly stamping on Hazard s chest in the second half of the match which Chelsea won 1-0 to oust the holders.

"Following Monday s Emirates FA Cup tie at Chelsea, ManUtd have been charged for failing to control their players," the FA tweeted.
