The English Football Association have made a decision on whether to charge Manchester United over their social media post.

United were in action on Sunday night as they faced Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup at the Emirates Stadium.

Goals from Bruno Fernandes and Gabriel Magalhaes meant the match ended in a 1-1 draw after 120 minutes.

Eventually, Ruben Amorim's men held their nerve as they advanced after winning a tense penalty shootout, Gunners star Kai Havertz saw his penalty saved by United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.

After the match, United's official social media account posted: "Justice."

The post has since gone viral, with a section of fans claiming the post was in reference to the penalty awarded to Arsenal.

Harry Maguire was adjudged to have fouled Havertz inside the penalty area, but replays showed that the contact was minimal.

As a result of beating Arsenal, United can now look forward to a fourth-round tie against Leicester City at Old Trafford.

Speaking after the match, Amorim said: "We had the feeling that everything in the end would be okay - I felt that since the beginning of the second half. Even after the penalty, I felt that and I think the Arsenal team maybe felt that today wouldn't be their day.

"But I’m really pleased for the way we controlled the game without the ball, and with set-pieces, we were really strong."

He added: "The spirit was there even with 10 men. I think the connection between the team on the pitch and the fans outside was a really good thing to feel. I think we are improving on that and I think that is the base of everything."

The Red Devils will return to Premier League action this week when they take on bottom-side Southampton on Thursday night at Old Trafford.
