Reasons Revealed: Darren Fletcher To Face Disciplinary Action

Darren Fletcher reportedly became very furious at the fourth official in the tunnel shortly after Brentford scored against Manchester United.

The Red Devils came from behind to beat the Bees 2-1 and ease the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag. However, they went into halftime trailing after Ethan Pinnock scored a goal from a corner late in the first half.

Pinnock’s goal caused a commotion on the touchline. Matthijs de Ligt was instructed to leave the pitch due to bleeding. With the Dutch player off the field, United was at a disadvantage when Pinnock scored the game’s first goal.

Ten Hag and Ruud van Nistelrooy were seen venting their fury at fourth official Gavin Ward on the touchline, with the former earning a yellow card for his troubles. But that wasn’t the end of it.

Fletcher also let rip at the match officials despite missing the visitors’ goal. United’s first-team coach had been present, though when De Ligt was ordered off.

Darren Fletcher will now face disciplinary action for his altercation with the fourth official in the tunnel.
