Manchester United coach Darren Fletcher has been issued an extended three-match touchline suspension and a £7,500 fine due to misconduct during the match against Brentford on Saturday 19 October. Allegations state that Fletcher behaved in an “improper and/or confrontational manner” and uttered “abusive and/or insulting words” directed at the match officials during the Premier League win at Old Trafford. United’s frustration stemmed from Brentford’s initial goal scored by Ethan Pinnock, which occurred after home defender Matthijs de Ligt had to exit the field for the third occasion to address a head cut. The former midfielder, Fletcher, acknowledged the misconduct but has denied being abusive, with BBC Sport’s chief football news reporter Simon Stone stating that United intends to appeal.
