Manchester United fans are furious at the FA's decision on Nicolas Jackson's conduct in Chelsea's game against Everton.
According to Matt Law of the Telegraph, Chelsea forward Jackson will not face any retrospective FA action for his altercation at the end of the Blues' defeat to Everton.
The incident, where Jackson appeared to wrap his hands around Nathan Patterson's neck, was reviewed by the match officials at the time and no further action was taken.

United fans however, are furious at the decision, given Casemiro was given a red card and suspended for three games for putting his hands around Crystal Palace midfielder Will Hughes' neck last season.
Writing on X, the social media platform formally known as Twitter, one person said: "Casemiro - red card, suspended for 3 games. Nicolas Jackson - no action. The Premier League as consistent as ever."
Another said: "Why didn't Jackson get a red for this? Didn't Casemiro get a red for this last season?"
Others are angry at the leniency of the Premier League's decision.
One said: "This is absolutely absurd. How can it be reviewed by the match officials and no further action be taken?!

"It is clear as day. He grabs another player around the neck. Everton players had to step in.
"This league is absolutely ridiculous. Just at a loss."
A second person wrote: "So you can grab someone round the throat during the game from now on then, and face zero sanction. Good to know."
A third added: "Lol. He literally grabbed Patterson by the neck and had to be separated by numerous players."

Everton went on to win the game 2-0 courtesy of goals from Abdoulaye Doucoure and Lewis Dobbin.
The result sees Sean Dyche's side, who were dealt with a 10 point deduction earlier this season, stay 17th but move four points clear of the relegation zone.
