Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic charged with violent and improper conduct after red card
Aleksandar Mitrovic had put Fulham in front with his 12th goal of the season before being sent off at Manchester United
And the club has landed an additional charge of failing to control its players in the Old Trafford encounter.10-match ban, but manager Silva appealed for "fairness"A player is typically suspended for three matches after being shown a straight red card for violent conduct, but that ban can be extended, depending on the circumstances.
"In addition, Aleksandar Mitrovic's behaviour and/or language was allegedly improper and/or abusive and/or insulting and/or threatening following his dismissal."But he was dismissed in the 72nd minute after the hosts were awarded a penalty following a Video Assistant Referee check that resulted in Brazil winger Willian also being sent off for a deliberate handball on the line.
"It's further alleged that in throwing a water bottle in the direction of the assistant referee that his behaviour was improper."Former referees' chief Keith Hackett echoed Sutton's demand for a 10-game ban, while head of the Referees' Association Paul Field said Mitrovic should serve longer for pushing a referee - and even face carrying out community work.
"Think about what Eric Cantona did nearly 30 years ago and he got nine months. I think they should put a really decent time on this."
