    Young appeared to strike Tadic with an elbow during Saturday’s 0-0 draw at Old Trafford.

    “Young’s charge follows an incident during Saturday’s game against Southampton which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video,” the FA said in a statement.

    Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino said after the match: “I haven’t seen the replay but it is difficult for the referee to see in one second what happened in all different places -- but I have to respect the decision.”

    Swansea defender Kyle Naughton has also been charged with violent conduct by the FA for allegedly stamping on Watford’s Stefano Okaka during the Welsh side’s 2-1 victory at Vicarage Road on Saturday.

    Young and Naughton have until 1700 GMT on Sunday to respond to the charges.
