Sir Alex denies conduct charge
MANCHESTER United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has denied a charge of improper conduct.
Although Ferguson had until Tuesday evening to respond to the charge, brought against him following his comments about referee Martin Atkinson in the immediate aftermath of Manchester United's Premier League defeat at Chelsea on Tuesday, the 69-year-old has already confirmed to the FA he will challenge.
A personal hearing will be scheduled at a date no later than Friday, 25 March.
Ferguson appeared to bring Atkinson's integrity into question when he claimed "in matches like this you want a fair referee" in his post-match interview with the club's in-house television station MUTV.
The United boss went on to explain he had "feared the worst" when he discovered Atkinson was going to referee the game.
