What Harry Maguire told Premier League officials after being sent off vs Bournemouth has been revealed as the Man Utd star is hit with a fresh ban.

The Man Utd star was shown a straight red card in his side's 2-2 draw with the Cherries this month, after he was adjudged to push Evanilson to the ground in the penalty area.

Maguire has already served a one-match ban for the incident, but will now also miss United's clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this weekend following an additional ban.

It comes as the FA issued a statement on Wednesday charging Maguire for improper manner towards the fourth official, and a £30,000 fine for his actions at The Vitality.

The statement read: "The defender was charged after being sent off in the 78th minute of their Premier League match against AFC Bournemouth on Friday 20 March.

It was alleged that Harry Maguire acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards the fourth official following his dismissal.

The defender subsequently admitted the charge. The Regulatory Commission imposed his sanctions following a hearing and its written reasons for them can be seen below," it continued.

What Harry Maguire told fourth official to receive new ban

Following confirmation of Maguire's ban, it has come to light what the England international said to Matt Donohue that was deemed 'abusive', with the fourth official recounting the incident in his match report.

"In the 78th minute of the game, referee Stuart Attwell sent off Manchester United #5 Harry Maguire," it began.

"After the VAR check was complete, Maguire, as he was leaving the field of play, approached me and shouted, 'You're a joke. You're all a f****** joke.'

The reported concluded: I am reporting the matter to the Football Association for further review."

The decision was deemed particularly controversial due to Michael Carrick's side not being awarded a penalty just moments earlier for a similar challenge on Amad Diallo.

Speaking after the game, captain Bruno Fernandes called out in the inconsistency between the two decisions.

"One is rewarded as a penalty, the other one not," he told Sky Sports.

"I know it's difficult for the referee to give two penalties in the same game for the same team but what I don't understand is why VAR doesn't get involved in that situation."
