UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Manchester United and Liverpool following their Europa League match at Old Trafford on Thursday night.
The last 16 second-leg tie was marred by a number of incidents, including fighting in the crowd.
United are to be charged under safety regulations for having stairways blocked, for crowd disturbances and the throwing of objects.
Liverpool are to be charged with illicit chants, setting off fireworks, the throwing of objects, crowd disturbances and the team being late onto the pitch.
The case will be dealt with by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body on 19 May.
There were scuffles in the crowd at the final whistle at Old Trafford after a Liverpool flag was unfurled in the home end with police intervening and escorting a small group of fans out of the upper tier of the East Stand.
