The Mail: Fletcher was suspended because of a fierce protest against the referee and the fourth official(danyu)

Live broadcast on November 14 The Daily Mail wrote an article about the reason for Fletcher's suspension.

Last week, Fletcher was sentenced to a three-match ban plus £7,500 by the FA for misconduct in Manchester United's match against Brentford. He was sent off for a violent protest against the referee and the fourth official at half-time.

Fletcher's anger was due to a head injury in a first-half corner kick that De Ligt was asked to take off by referee Barot, but it was De Ligt's departure that caused United to concede a goal in a corner. At half-time, Fletcher protested against both Barot and fourth official Gavin Ward in the tunnel of the players.

Ward, who reported the situation to the Independent Oversight Board in his report, said: "After the half-time whistle blew and as I walked into the tunnel at half-time, Manchester United's assistant coach Fletche approached me in an aggressive manner and pointed at me and yelled 'yelling yelling 'y'all bastards, it's a damn joke, every week. I tried to calm him down and stressed that this behavior of his was completely unacceptable in this situation. He was then stopped by another Manchester United staff member as he tried to keep approaching me. With that, I turned and walked to the match officials' locker room. ”

The Independent Oversight Board said it had reviewed the video footage of the tunnel and claimed that Fletcher did get agitated and then began to protest to the fourth official, gesturing with his hands, yelling and trying to approach the fourth official in a confrontational manner, before a Manchester United staff member stopped him. The Independent Regulatory Commission said that while the sound was not available on camera, we also believed that Fletcher's actions were aggressive.

Fletcher has already apologised for his actions and claims that his reaction was due to the conceded goal, and that his behaviour would have been different if he had calmed himself down for a while.
