Fulham boss Álvaro Arbeloa has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association for claiming officials would "not let Manchester United lose" after Michael Carrick's side scored a late equaliser to draw their Premier League match at Craven Cottage.
United were fortunate to leave with a point after Matheus Cunha's 89th-minute deflected goal snatched a 1-1 draw on Sept. 20.
In a post-match TV interview, Arbeloa said the referee had given "all fouls" for United and that "I knew after the game against Man City that they [would not] let Manchester United lose here," referencing the controversial VAR call in the Manchester derby.

Arbeloa -- who took over at Fulham in the summer but has yet to win a league game -- has until Thursday to provide a response.
