Wenger charged with improper conduct

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was today charged with improper conduct for his outspoken criticism of Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy after his side’s defeat at Old Trafford.

And while no further disciplinary action is expected following the Football Association’s investigation of an alleged tunnel incident at Old Trafford, both clubs have been invited to attend a peace meeting.

The FA are determined to clear the air following the controversial Old Trafford clash on October 24, which itself followed the ugly melee in the same fixture last season.
