United staff were upset at the time when the Bees went ahead with Matthijs de Ligt off the pitch receiving treatment for a head wound.

Fletcher  has until 29 October to respond to the charge. 

Before the Scot confronted match officials, both manager Erik ten Hag and assistant coach Ruud van Nistelrooy were shown yellow cards for their protests.
