Pair deny conduct charge

Manchester United defender Patrice Evra and Chelsea groundsman Sam Bethell have both denied the charges levelled against them by the Football Association over their part in the row at Stamford Bridge last season.

Evra and Bethell were involved in an angry confrontation during United’s warm-down following their 2-1 defeat.

Following a lengthy investigation by the FA, both men were charged with improper conduct, while Bethell was also charged with using abusive language aggravated by reference to nationality/race.
