Manchester United and Arsenal are both on the verge of losing points. There are no winners and losers. If points are actually deducted, everyone becomes a loser. It was the worst confrontation.
Manchester United and Arsenal clashed in the third round of the 2024-2025 FA Cup at the Emirates Stadium in London on the 13th (Korea time). He played extra time, but he couldn't decide the game 1-1 and eventually a penalty shootout took place. Here, Manchester United won 5-3 and reached the fourth round of the FA Cup. Arsenal are out.
So far, Manchester United seems to have become the hero of glory. However, the aftermath of the game is coming in hard. The scuffle between the players of both teams during the game was a problem. Twenty players, virtually all field players except the goalkeepers of both teams, caused violence. In response, the English Football Association (FA) has decided to conduct a fact-finding investigation. Depending on the results of the investigation, strong disciplinary measures such as points are expected to follow.
British media Daily Star reported on the 14th that the Manchester United and Arsenal clubs are facing FA fact-finding investigations that could lead to points deduction due to the scuffle in the FA Cup match.

The FA did not view this incident as unusual. It is expected to be investigated soon. Depending on the results of the investigation, the players may be fined, and in severe cases, the club is expected to be given a point deduction.
In this regard, Keith Hackett, a former professional game referee (PGMOL), said through Football Insider, a British football media outlet, that sanctions such as points reduction could be imposed on the two clubs for failing to control their players. Hackett said "Group scuffles in which a player hits an opponent with his head are subject to investigation by the FA. A few years ago, I witnessed a large-scale scuffle involving 21 players. No one received a red card at the time because there were more than one or two people involved"However, afterwards, a detailed report was submitted to the FA, and both teams were penalized for points deduction due to the investigation. Again, I am confident that Manchester United and Arsenal will be punished for failing to control the players.'
