Fergie’s comments came after Man U’s 2-2 draw against Sunderland on 3 October, Ferguson had said: “The pace of the game demanded a referee who was fit. He (Wiley) was not fit.”

Though Ferguson did apologize to Wiley, he could face a hefty fine or a touchline ban if he is found guilty.

“The charge relates to media comments made by Ferguson about referee Alan Wiley following United’s match against Sunderland at Old Trafford on October 3. He has until November 3 to respond to the charge,” the statement added.
