The Manchester City footballer Gareth Barry has been charged with abusing a match official in the continuing fallout from Monday morning's Manchester Derby.

The match, won 3-2 by United, was marred by crowd trouble following Robin van Persie's late winner at City's Etihad Stadium.

Police are still trying to identify a supporter who threw a coin at United defender Rio Ferdinand which left him bleeding from a cut about his left eye.

13 people were arrested after the match.
