The pair were charged following their off-the-ball clash in Manchester United&rsquo;s 1-1 draw with Premier League champions Leicester on Sunday. Television cameras showed Leicester central defender Huth pulling Fellaini&rsquo;s hair, with the United midfielder responding by swinging an elbow into the German&rsquo;s neck.
An FA statement said: &ldquo;Both players accepted the charge, however, Huth contested that the standard penalty of a three-match suspension would be &lsquo;clearly excessive&rsquo;. This claim, however, was rejected following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today (Thursday).&rdquo;
