  • Harry Maguire has been charged with improper conduct by the FA following his red card during Manchester United's match against Bournemouth.
  • The charge alleges that Maguire used "abusive or insulting words or behaving incorrectly" towards the fourth official, Matt Donohue.
  • Maguire was shown a straight red card for pulling back Evanilson, which led to a penalty for Bournemouth in the 2-2 draw.
  • This charge could result in an extended ban for the England defender, potentially ruling him out of Manchester United's trip to Chelsea.
  • Maguire has until 2 April to provide his response to the FA regarding the charge.
