Manchester United and Liverpool fined for Europa League incidents

 

Manchester United and Liverpool have been fined by UEFA for illicit chants in their Europa League matches in March. Both clubs have received £30,500 fines - half of which is suspended for two years - for the chants and have been given separate fines for a number of other offences.

United have been fined £13,750 for breaching safety regulations relating to blocking stairways, crowd disturbances and throwing of object. Liverpool must pay £13,000 for setting off fireworks, throwing of objects, crowd disturbances and for a late kick-off.

Liverpool have also been charged by UEFA for several incidents during their Europa League final against Sevilla earlier this month. Their charges are for crowd disturbances and the setting off of fireworks, while Sevilla have been charged with crowd disturbances and the throwing of objects.  Those cases will be dealt with by UEFA's control, ethics and disciplinary body on July 21.
