Meyler in the clear ahead of cup final

David Meyler is clear to play in the FA Cup final after escaping disciplinary action following his apparent stamp on Adnan Januzaj, the Manchester United winger.

Video replays showed Republic of Ireland midfielder Meyler treading on the teenager’s left shin during the second half of Tuesday night’s Premier League match at Old Trafford.

Meyler was fearing a violent conduct charge from the FA. That would have resulted in a three-match ban, ruling Meyler out of the cup final against Arsenal on May 17.
