The Football Association (FA) has charged Manchester United defender Harry Maguire for his conduct following the red card he received in the match against Bournemouth. The England international was sent off in the 78th minute for denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity after fouling Evanilson in the penalty area, leading to a Bournemouth equalizer from the spot. After receiving the straight red card, Maguire confronted the fourth official, which is the basis for the FA's charge.
The defender must respond to the charge by the end of today's business day. As it stands, he is set to serve a one-match ban for the red card, but if found guilty, his suspension will likely be extended. This means Maguire could miss not only this weekend's derby against Leeds but also the trip to Chelsea on April 18th.
Following the Bournemouth match, Old Trafford lodged a complaint against the officiating, claiming Manchester United was denied a second penalty when the score was 1-0.
