Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been charged with improper conduct by the Football Association.

The charge comes after comments the Scot made in regards to referee Alan Wiley following the Premier League match against Sunderland on October 3.

Ferguson said Wiley was not fit enough and claimed he kept needing to rest and despite issuing a personal apology, has been charged by the FA.

"Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been charged with improper conduct,” a statement on the FA’s official website read.

"The charge relates to media comments made by Ferguson about referee Alan Wiley following United's match against Sunderland at Old Trafford on 3 October."

Old blue nose is a gibbering fool, did you see Benitez go on like an old pi ss head who's lost his bottle of Scotch? NO and as a result the fa and all 4 officials look like a bunch of muppets. You'll never change anything once the final whistle's been blown, old blue nose deserves everything he gets. Along with Micheal Omen he should learn when to keep his mouth shut! Simple.

i totally agree SAF should not have said such a thing in the media, but it is very evident some of the refs in EPL are shambles.
