\"Man Ferguson is on the cusp of winning Man Utd a record 19th league title<\/span> <\/p>\n

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has been charged with improper conduct by the Football Association for comments about referee Howard Webb.<\/p>\n

The comments in question were made in the build-up to the 2-1 Premier League win over Chelsea on 8 May<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even though Ferguson spoke positively about Webb, he broke FA rules which state that no manager should speak about a referee prior to a match.<\/p>\n

The Old Trafford club’s manager has until 1600 BST on 16 May to respond.<\/p>\n

Ferguson’s side won the match last Sunday against Chelsea 2-1 to move within a point of securing a record 19th title<\/a> with two games to spare.<\/p>\n

But, two days before a game which could have resulted in Chelsea overtaking them at the top-flight summit had the Blues won, Ferguson spoke about Webb at his news conference.<\/p>\n

“We are getting the best referee, there is no doubt about that,” he said at the time.<\/p>\n

“But (getting a bad decision) is definitely our big fear.<\/p>\n

“We have the players to do it all right. We just hope it’s our turn for a little bit of luck.”<\/p>\n

Ferguson only recently returned to the dug-out aftyer a five-game ban and \u00a330,000 fine for his criticism’s of referee Martin Atkinson following a 2-1 defeat at Chelsea in March.<\/p>\n

He is unlikely to be banned again but the FA’s action is further proof they are determined to implement their Respect Campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
