didn't a team get a fine for fielding a very weak team? something about disrespecting the competition
The premier league don't have the balls. Unfortunately. Maybe if it was Stoke or WBA before a final but the famous Manchester United - the only reason anyone abroad watches the premier lge and the only reason anyone watches sky sports - not a chance!!

Have they set a record on the most draws achieved in a season? Maybe that carries a £20m prize?

I know back in 1981 we got a caution for fielding a weak team, midweek match before the cup final (I think against Southampton). I don't remember if we were fined.

Yep, it was Wolves back in 2010. £25,000 Suspended fine which would be nothing to United when they estimate missing the Champions league would cost them £50M.

And Huddersfield were warned about the same issue in the Championship a few weeks ago:

Griezmann, Bernardo Silva & Bale... surely that is approx £150M

I bet Man U will bore their way to a 1-0 win tonight, it'll be like when teams come to whl and sit with 10 men behind the ball, Man U being that team

Despite recognising what a massive wanker he can be at times, I still don't hate Jose Mourinho.
