Manchester United<\/a> manager Sir Alex Ferguson<\/a> has been charged with improper conduct by the FA due to remarks made about the officiating in the defeat to Chelsea<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Ferguson was left fuming after his side’s 2-1 loss to at Stamford Bridge, as the 69-year-old believed that goalscorer David Luiz should have been sent off, while he also disagreed with the award of a penalty after Yury Zhirkov went down following contact with Chris Smalling.<\/p>\n

The FA reportedly asked for a tape of an interview conducted with the club’s official TV channel in which he criticised referee Martin Atkinson.<\/p>\n

The United boss was also quoted by the Daily Telegraph<\/em> as saying: “You hope you get a really strong referee in games like this.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a major game for both clubs and you want a fair referee. You want a strong referee anyway and we didn\u2019t get that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know why he\u2019s got the game. I must say that when I saw who was refereeing it, I feared the worst.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ferguson has until 4pm on 8 March to respond to the charge.<\/p>\n
