MIDDLESBROUGH are yet to decide whether to contest an FA charge of failing to control their players during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Manchester City at the Riverside.
The FA have charged Boro after their players reacted furiously to referee Kevin Friend's decision to award City a second-half penalty.
Marten de Roon was adjudged to have fouled Leroy Sane, even though the City midfielder appeared to tumble over his opponent's standing leg in the penalty area.
De Roon and Fabio da Silva were both booked for dissent as tempers flared.
Boro officials have until 6pm on May 5 to respond to the charge, and are yet to decide whether to lodge an appeal
An FA statement said: "Middlesbrough have been charged for misconduct following the game against Manchester City on Sunday (30 April 2017).
"It is alleged that in or around the 66th minute of the fixture, the club failed to ensure that its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion."
