ALEX FERGUSON has been hit by ANOTHER charge from the FA for comments about a referee.
The Manchester United boss described Howard Webb as "the best man for the job" in the build-up to last Sunday's Premier League title clash with Chelsea.
And although the statement may have appeared harmless, it contravened FA Rule E3 which states no manager should speak about a referee in advance of the match being played
Speaking at the time, the Scot said: "We are getting the best referee, there is no doubt about that.
"But (getting a bad decision) is definitely our big fear. We have the players to do it all right. We just hope it's our turn for a little bit of luck."
The United boss, who has just served a five-match touchline ban following comments made about Martin Atkinson in the wake of his side's defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on March 1, has until 4pm on May 16 to respond.
