      The Craven Cottage outfit and boss Marco Silva will join Mitrovic in the FA dock for the lawless response to Kavanagh’s decision to follow VAR advice and send off Willian for a goalline handball offence.
      But now United have been hit by an FA rap for their players surrounding Kavanagh when he initially awarded only a corner.
      An FA spokesperson said: “Manchester United FC has been charged after its players surrounded a match official during the 71st minute of The FA Cup tie against Fulham FC on Sunday 19 March.
      “It’s alleged that Manchester United FC failed to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or do not behave in a way which is improper.

      “Manchester United FC has until Monday 27 March to respond.”
      SunSport revealed earlier this week that Prem and EFL clubs have already been fined almost £1.3million for on-field rucks and abuse of officials.
      United have been fined £137,000 for three separate previous offences of failing to control their players, in the matches against Newcastle and Chelsea in October and Crystal Palace last month.
      The fourth offence is likely to bring the Old Trafford club a further fine of around £75,000.

      This will equal the biggest single player misbehaviour fine levied so far this term, against Manchester City for surrounding ref Anthony Taylor in their win at Arsenal.
      The Gunners have paid out the biggest sum this season, totalling £185,000. More

      And Osimhen fits their criteria after scoring 25 goals in 29 games this season, including four in the Champions League.
      The Red Devils are leading the race to sign the striker, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
      But the transfer guru claims it could take a Premier League record fee for United to get their man.
      Napoli are reportedly willing to sell Osimhen for a fee in the region of £115-£130million.

      That is a little more than the £107m Chelsea paid to sign Enzo Fernandez in January, which set a new Prem record.
      Di Marzio also reports Paris Saint-Germain could make a move for Osimhen.
      They would likely be able to afford the Nigerian, as would Chelsea who have also been linked.
      Osimhen says he dreams of playing in the Premier League at some stage.

      However, it appears PSG could be set to leapfrog the competition during the international break.
      It is believed transfer guru Luis Campos has arranged a meeting with Osimhen’s representatives.
      And talks are already underway in the background over structuring a potential deal for July.
      PSG are bracing themselves for the possible exit of Lionel Messi, whose contract expires shortly. More

      He got his big move to Los Blancos in 2010 after impressing at the South Africa World Cup with Germany.
      Rooney played against him in the tournament and was keen for Manchester United to sign him.
      He even advised Ferguson to make a move but the Scot was not interested and put Rooney in his place.
      Recalling the story in his autobiography, Fergie wrote: “Wayne said that we should have pursued Mesut Ozil, who had joined Real Madrid from Werder Bremen.

      “My reply was that it was none of his business who we should have gone for.
      “I told him it was his job to play and perform. My job was to pick the correct teams. And so far I had been getting it right.
      “Well, he was not on our radar at the time. Ozil when at Werder Bremen played wide right, then towards the end of the season played him off the front.
      “He went to South Africa and did very well. But wasn’t on our radar. But I explained to Wayne and we get most of our decisions right.”

      Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani is also considering a £5bn deal
      Current owners The Glazers have been trying to get him on a new one since early in this campaign.
      But with Man Utd trying to impose a salary cap which sees the top earners get no more than between £200,000 to £300,000 a week, negotiations have stalled.
      Rashford has been offered the top figure but since then his stock has soared.
      The biggest names in the game including Barcelona coach Xavi have named him as one of the best forwards in Europe.

      The 25-year-old is enjoying career best figures of 27 goals in 44 games with plenty of football to be played as United aim for a cup treble and top four Premier League spot this season.
      He understands this could be the biggest contract of his career which is why there has been no rush from the player and his advisors.
      He currently earns £200,000 a week and has been offered that 50 per cent rise to £300,000 in a five-year deal.
      Understandably Rashford’s camp will want to know what the two main prospective new owners Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and Sir Jim Ratcliffe have to offer when they take charge.

      United are trying to bring in the wage cap to stop the disparity between the highest earners and the rest to create a greater harmony within the camp.
      The club want to get away from the days when Alexis Sanchez for example was racking in £500,000 a week.
      Current top earner David de Gea is on £375,000 a week and he has been told he needs to take a huge cut if he wants to stay at Old Trafford beyond the end of this season when his deal expires.
      Rashford had to pull out of the England squad for the international double header against Italy and Ukraine.
      He is expected to be fit for United’s return to action away to Newcastle on April 2nd. More

      I won the treble with Man Utd and asked Sir Alex Ferguson for a year off with pay – his response was classic

      by

      But once the dust settled from that grueling campaign, the striker wanted to recharge his batteries – a little too much – and asked for the kind of time off no-one else dared to.
      The ex-Trinidad and Tobago international asked Fergie for a 12-month leave thinking there was nothing left to conquer – and he wanted to get paid in full during his extended sabbatical.
      Yorke told United’s official podcast when asked about that strange request: “Yeah, but with pay. Yeah, I mean, what else would you do?
      “I went in and I said, ‘Gaffer, what are we doing?’ Obviously, after you win the treble there’s nothing to do.

      “[I asked] ‘Can I have a year off from football, with pay, and then I come back the next year and rejoin the team’. Honestly, I don’t know what made me think that. I just thought, ‘What else is there to do?
      “‘There’s nothing else to do. What more can we possibly do as a team?’
      “Yeah, you can repeat the feat, but if you don’t repeat it you are deemed as a failure.”
      But as expected, no-nonsense Ferguson didn’t put up with it and responded in typical Sir Alex fashion.

      Yorke, though, still laughs when he remembers that moment as he knew the legendary United boss wouldn’t have granted his wish anyway.
      The 51-year-old added: “That was a fun moment. If ever in time you were going to ask the gaffer for anything, that was the time to go in and ask him.
      “I didn’t have anything to lose. He could tell me to f*** off, which is what he did.
      “It was kind of jokingly, but if he had said to me ‘take a year off’ I would have taken it. But I knew that wasn’t going to happen, I just thought, ‘you know what, it’s worth a try’.” More
