Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has been charged by the Football Association for comments he made following his side's 0-0 FA Cup draw at Cambridge United last month.

Van Gaal's men were held to a 0-0 draw by their League Two opponents on January 23, prompting a replay on Tuesday that Manchester United won 3-0.

After the stalemate at the Abbey Stadium, Van Gaal told reporters: "Every aspect of the match is against us - the pitch, the referee. Everything that you can think about this is against you."

An FA statement on Wednesday read: "Louis van Gaal has been charged by The FA for media comments he made after Manchester United’s FA Cup fourth-round match against Cambridge United on Friday 23 January 2015.

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

"He has until 6pm on Monday 9 February 2015 to respond to the charge."
