Everton v Man Utd: Ex-FIFA ref shares if Young could face FA action after what he did..
Ashley Young was understandably frustrated after Everton played a contentious 2-2 draw against Manchester United at Goodison Park.
Everton were excellent value for a 2-0 half-time lead against Man United as goals from Beto and Abdoulaye Doucoure had the Toffees coasting on Saturday.
Quickfire goals from Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte undeservedly brought the Red Devils back into the game but late drama was to follow.
Veteran defender Younger was felled by a combination of Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt and referee Andy Madley originally pointed to the penalty spot.
However, after visiting the pitch-side monitor following a recommendation by VAR, Madley overturned his decision.

Many on social media questioned in Madley had been shown the best angle of the incident when he went to consult the monitor because at first glance it looked like his original call was the right one.
Everton ace Young himself took to Instagram to allude to the same conclusion, while also quoting a famous Jose Mourinho quote where he didn’t want to speak for fear of reprimand from the Football Association.
Posting on his official account, the Everton man wrote: ““A point’s a point, onwards and upwards! Decisions, Angles

Keith Hackett says if Young could face FA trouble
The FA can often take a dim view when players speak out about controversial incidents such as this one involving Young against Ruben Amorim’s men.
However, ex-FIFA referee and former PGMOL chief Keith Hackett suggested that on this occasion, Young would face any sort of reprimand for his post.
Speaking exclusively to Goodison News, Hackett merely said: “I do not think that the FA will take action on his post.”
Everton have now taken 14 points from their past six Premier League games under David Moyes to leave themselves 14th in the table 14 clear of the drop zone.
