Manchester United have been hit with a new charge by the English Football Association.
The Red Devils are unbeaten in their past four matches in all competitions, with three draws against FC Porto, Aston Villa and Fenerbahce, and a victory over Brentford.

Despite winning the game against Brentford last weekend, the match wasn't without controversy as tempers flared at Old Trafford after the Bees opened the scoring through defender Ethan Pinnock before half-time.
The goal was scored from a corner during first-half stoppage-time while United had only 10 men on the pitch, with referee Samuel Barrott refusing to allow United defender Matthijs de Ligt to get back on the field before the set-piece was taken.
Barrott had insisted that play continue without De Ligt due to a persistent, bleeding, head wound he had sustained moments earlier.
With Pinnock capitalising on the one-man advantage and giving Brentford the lead, this left the United bench and fans furious about the decision not to allow De Ligt back on the field.
Manager Erik ten Hag and his assistant Ruud van Nistelrooy were both shown a yellow card for their protests.
However, another member of United's coaching staff, Darren Fletcher, took things further by ranting at the fourth official while the teams headed into the tunnel at half-time.
This has since landed Fletcher in hot water as his confrontation with the match official was caught on CCTV.
The English FA has confirmed that they have charged the former midfielder after his emotionally charged protest.
The English football governing body said in a statement posted on X: "Darren Fletcher has been charged with misconduct following Manchester United's fixture against Brentford on Saturday, 20 October, in the Premier League.
"It's alleged that the coach acted in an improper and/or confrontational manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words towards the fourth official and the referee and/or assistant referees. Darren Fletcher has until Tuesday, 29 October, to respond."

It is not United's first run-in with the FA this season, as a charge against club captain Bruno Fernandes for a dangerous tackle on a Tottenham Hotspur player last month was later rescinded after a successful appeal by the Manchester outfit.
