Leicester City's Robert Huth and Manchester United's Marouane Fellaini were charged with violent conduct on Tuesday after clashing in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Old Trafford, the Football Association announced.

Belgian midfielder Fellaini appeared to swing his elbow into Huth's jaw after the German centre-back seemed to pull his hair in an incident missed by match referee Michael Oliver but picked up by television cameras.

After referring the matter to a panel of three former elite referees, the FA elected to charge both players.

"Marouane Fellaini and Robert Huth have both been charged for alleged acts of violent conduct which were not seen by the match officials but caught on video," the FA said in a statement on its website.

“The Manchester United midfielder and Leicester City defender were involved in an incident in the 21st minute of their game on Sunday (1 May 2016).

"Both players have until 6pm (1700 GMT) on Wednesday 4 May 2016 to reply to their charge.”

Both men face three-match suspensions if found guilty.
