The FA has charged Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal for comments he made to the media following his side's FA Cup fourth-round draw at Cambridge on Jan. 23.
According to the governing body's statement, Van Gaal's offending comments "allege and/or imply bias on the part of the match referee and/or bring the game into disrepute."
Van Gaal was frustrated after his club's poor performance against the League Two side and hinted that referee Chris Foy was partially to blame.
"Every aspect of a match is against us," Van Gaal said following the scoreless draw. "We have to come here, the pitch is not so good, but that can influence also that you play in another playing style.
"The opponents are always giving a lot more than normal. And defending is always easier than attacking.
"Then you have seen the referee [Chris Foy]. It's always the same. Everywhere I have coached these games -- and I have coached them also with other clubs -- it's always the same."
Van Gaal has until 6 p.m. on Feb. 9 to respond to the charge.
