Marco Silva has been charged by the Football Association over comments he made following Fulham's defeat to Manchester United earlier this month.

The Fulham manager has been accused of improper conduct after he questioned the actions of referee Chris Kavanagh during the FA Cup quarter-final clash.

Silva's charge relates to comments he made in the post-match press conference about officiating decisions in the match and against his side previously by Kavanagh.
