"It's alleged that Manchester United failed to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or do not behave in a way which is improper. Manchester United has until Monday, March 27 to respond."
The drama saw Fulham manager Marco Silva and Aleksandar Mitrovic – who had given Fulham the opener - sent off. The Red Devils went on to win the match 3-1 and progress to the semi-finals.
