Marco Silva: Fulham manager 'aware' of impact of his behaviour at grassroots level

Fulham manager Marco Silva says he is aware the impact his behaviour could have at grassroots level.

The 45-year-old had until Wednesday to respond to the Football Association charge which followed his red card in the FA Cup loss at Manchester United.

Silva and Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic issued an apology yesterday.

Mitrovic is facing a lengthy ban after the FA said its standard three-match suspension for a straight sending off was "clearly insufficient" for the Serb's push on referee Chris Kavanagh at Old Trafford earlier this month.

In a statement, both Silva and Mitrovic said they regretted their actions and apologised to referee Kavanagh - while Silva added: "I should have controlled my own emotions better".
