Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has been charged by the Football Association over comments that he made after his side's draw with Cambridge United in the FA Cup last month.

It is alleged that the Dutchman's comments "allege and/or imply bias on the part of the match referee and/or bring the game into disrepute".

Van Gaal, 63, has until 6pm on Monday to respond to the charge.

The veteran coach was angered after his team's fourth-round tie at Abbey Stadium as they failed to see off the League Two outfit. However, they made amends last night by winning the replay 3-0 at Old Trafford.

United will now face Preston North End in the fifth round of the competition.
