The English Football Association has charged Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson with misconduct.
Ferguson was unhappy when Manchester United played Tottenham Hotspur recently and made a number of comments post-match, which the FA has taken issue with.
And so the 71-year-old tactician has been charged.
"The FA has today [Tuesday 29 January] charged Sir Alex Ferguson in relation to post-match media comments made following Manchester United’s game at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday 20 January 2013", the FA announced via their official site.

"It is alleged the Manchester United manager breached FA Rule E3 in that he implied that the match official was motivated by bias.
"Ferguson has until 4pm on Friday 1 February 2013 to respond to the charge."

Ferguson has led the Red Devils to the top of the table, with a five-point gap over champions Manchester City in second.
Manchester United are also through to the Champions League Round of 16, where they face Real Madrid.
