FA Rule E3: Manchester United youngster Jack Fletcher has issued a public apology on Wednesday after being handed a six-match suspension for using homophobic language during an EFL Trophy fixture against Barnsley F.C. in October last year.

The incident occurred during United Under-21s’ 5-2 defeat, a match in which the teenager scored before being sent off.

Following an investigation, the Football Association (FA) charged Fletcher with acting in an improper manner and using abusive and/or insulting words, constituting a breach of FA Rule E3.1. The offence was deemed an aggravated breach as it included a reference to sexual orientation.
