"It is alleged the Sunderland manager's remarks were improper and/or threatening and/or brought the game into disrepute, contrary to FA Rule," the FA said in a statement on Wednesday.

Former Manchester United manager Moyes, who had apologised for his comments, has until May 3 to reply to the charge.
