Sir Alex Ferguson has been charged by the Football Association with improper conduct over comments he made about referee Martin Atkinson.
The Manchester United boss said he had "feared the worst" when Atkinson was appointed for Tuesday's game with Chelsea, which United lost 2-1.
Ferguson has until 1600 GMT next Tuesday to respond to the charge.
He also has two matches of a four-game ban from last season hanging over him after remarks about referee Alan Wiley.
Following their defeat at Stamford Bridge, Ferguson told MUTV: "You want a fair referee, or a strong referee anyway - and we didn't get that.
"I must say, when I saw who the referee was I feared it. I feared the worst."
Ferguson was angry over Atkinson's failure to dismiss Chelsea defender David Luiz for fouls on Javier Hernandez and Wayne Rooney after he had already been booked.
He was further upset when Chelsea were awarded what he considered a "soft" penalty when Yuri Zhirkov fell under the challenge of Chris Smalling.
If Ferguson's suspended ban is triggered, he will be suspended from the touchline for United's FA Cup sixth-round tie with Arsenal at Old Trafford on 12 March and the Premier League game with Bolton a week later and then whatever extra games - if any - are added on for his latest outburst.
United's loss at Stamford Bridge pegged their lead over Arsenal back to four points, with the Gunners having played a game less.
Unfortunatley, as with a lot of managers, he only sees selective truth. I didn't hear him commenting on the ref about Rooneys elbow. The problem is that there is no respect for referees these days. Look at the big firm clash. As for the Chelsea game, Chelsea were the better side on the day and probably deserved the three points.
Selective is true, but everyone brings up united get away with decisions, which is true, but for the last several games against chelski, chelski have not got 1 or 2 big decisions go their way, they get several.
There is no respect for referees these days because they are inconsistent turds, the stakes are much higher for teams these days, poor ref decisions can cost team millions. They should use the 4th/5th official for consulting in big decisions, such as penalties and sendings off.
Now Collina he was a ref that everyone respected, I wonder why.
