United players' behaviour under investigation

EVERTON officials will study CCTV footage before deciding whether to make a formal complaint to the Football Association over the behaviour of some Manchester United players during Saturday's Premiership spectacular at Goodison Park.

United players' behaviour under investigation

The Toffees have received in excess of 40 statements from individual fans alleging members of the United squad used foul language and abusive gestures towards sections of the crowd following Ruud van Nistelrooy's late winner. TV replays have proved inconclusive, although the club's internal video system has yet to be reviewed.

Should Everton believe they have enough evidence to warrant action, they will pass it onto Merseyside police, who in turn will refer the matter to the Football Association.
