Manuel Ugarte could face retrospective action from the Football Association for his role in the on-field brawl during the season. Manchester United’s dramatic FA Cup win over Arsenal on Sunday.
Tempers rose midway through the second half when Arsenal were awarded a penalty for an alleged foul on Kai Havertz by Harry Maguire, who was furious at the decision. United’s anger escalated into a multi-player brawl, with Ugarte and Havertz finding themselves at the center.
Havertz ended up on the floor after a collision with Ugarte, who appeared to be punched in the head. Armory Further when contact was minimal, the FA would have to question Ugarte’s intentions.
As there was no VAR in operation – the system would not be used until the fifth round of the FA Cup – Ugart’s action was not reviewed and appears to have been missed by the on-field official, who did not show the midfielder a yellow card. .
Havertz, who was also seen with his arm around Ugart’s neck, was shown a yellow card, suggesting the referee look into the German’s actions and give what he felt was an appropriate punishment.
If Ugarteno’s alleged headbutt misses, it could spark an investigation that could lead to a suspension for the summer signing, who won combined Fans in recent weeks with his ruthless attitude during games.
“When we have the ball, it’s a game and when we don’t, it’s a fight,” Ugart wrote on social media after the match. “Let’s always have it together.”
