The Football Association has confirmed that Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has denied his misconduct charge.

Van Gaal was charged for his post-match comments following United's goalless draw with Cambridge United in the FA Cup last month.

The FA claims that the Dutchman's comments "allege and/or imply bias on the part of the match referee and/or bring the game into disrepute".

Van Gaal has requested a personal hearing, the date of which has not yet been confirmed.

He was granted a 24-hour extension to respond to the governing body before replying to them on Tuesday night.
