MEN’S FOOTBALL: The FA have charged Manchester United with improper conduct during Saturday’s Premier League game at Chelsea.

A number of United players surrounded referee Stuart Attwell in the closing stages after he awarded the hosts a penalty, deeming Scott McTominay had fouled Armando Broja.

“Manchester United allegedly failed to ensure that its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion in the 84th minute,” an FA statement read.

United have until tomorrow to respond to the charge.

MEN’S RUGBY LEAGUE: England coach Shaun Wane brought in ex-footballer Stuart Pearce today to inspire his players before their World Cup game with Greece.

The combative former England left-back dubbed “Psycho,” now 60, addressed Wane’s 24-man squad ahead of Saturday’s final group A clash at Sheffield’s Bramall Lane.

“Stuart is an impressive Englishman who is very passionate,” Wane said. “We’ve learned a lot off him.

“He presented to the group this morning and was really good. He spoke very highly about the camp and how we went about our session.”

MEN’S FOOTBALL: Rangers revealed plans for a statue of Walter Smith at Ibrox today on the first anniversary of their former manager’s death.
