Rafael accepts FA's improper conduct charge Manchester United defender Rafael da Silva has accepted a charge of improper conduct from the English Football Association for his actions after being sent off in the goalless draw at Tottenham
The Brazilian right back confronted and appeared to swear at referee Mike Dean after he was given a second booking for tripping Spurs defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto in the 74th minute of Sunday's Premier League match. Though accepting the charge, the FA on Tuesday says the 20-year-old Rafael has requested a personal hearing, which will be held on Friday.
