FA make Carlo Ancelotti decision after Everton manager red carded against Manchester United

Carlo Ancelotti has been charged by the FA following his red card after Everton's 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Sunday.

The end of the match at Goodison Park was marred by controversy after the Blues had a late Dominic Calvert-Lewin goal ruled out, with Gylfi Sigurdsson adjudged to have been in an offside position in David de Gea's field of view.

Ancelotti approached referee Chris Kavanagh following the final whistle, and was shown a red card by the official.

And the Football Assocation have now confirmed the Italian has been formally charged with misconduct.

A statement from the FA read: "Carlo Ancelotti has been charged with misconduct for a breach of FA Rule E3.

"It is alleged that the Everton FC manager’s language and/or behaviour on the field of play at the end of the Premier League fixture against Manchester United FC on Sunday 1 March 2020 amounts to improper conduct."

Ancelotti has until 6pm on Thursday to respond to the charge.

The Italian could face a touchline ban or a fine if accepted.
