Man Utd set to be charged and face heavy fine after Diego Simeone is pelted with missiles after Atletico Madrid loss

Manchester United are set to be charged after fans launched missiles at Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone following their Champions League exit.

The Red Devils were beaten 2-1 on aggregate by the Spanish champions after losing 1-0 at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.

After the referee blew the final whistle to signal the end of the match, Simeone sprinted down the tunnel and headed back to the dressing room. But while making his way off the touchline, several Man Utd supporters threw objects at him.

Some were seen throwing what appeared to be drinks directly at him. 

According to reports, the Premier League club will likely be handed heavy fined for the actions of their fans, with charges usually issued at the end of a European week.
