Bitter United fans call for Vertonghen punishment

Bruised Manchester United fans have called for Jan Vertonghen to face retrospective action.

The terrific Belgian was involved in an off-camera clash with Ander Herrera during our 2-0 win Wembley with him being accused of ‘grabbing’ Herrera’s throat in an incident that was apparently missed by referee Andre Marriner – and the BT Sport commentators.

However grainy footage has now emerged on social media, and fans have asked for a reaction from the FA, reports the Manchester Evening News.

United’s Ashley Young was retrospectively banned earlier this season for an elbow on Southampton’s Dusan Tadic that was missed at the time, and he was subsequently suspended for matches against Everton, Derby and Stoke.And United supporters believe Vertonghen warrants a similar punishment, taking to social media to make their point to football’s governing body.

Between the Kane “offside” complaint and now this they are a bitter bunch up at Old Trafford. There are endless files containing United player indiscretions from over the years that we could reel off. But we’re not bitter…. right
