Louis Van Gaal Warned by FA over Conduct: Latest Details, Comments, Reaction

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has been warned by the Football Association regarding his future conduct for comments made following an FA Cup fixture against Cambridge United.

According to a statement released on the official FA website, the Red Devils chief "alleged and/or implied bias on the part of the match referee, and/or brought the game into disrepute."

Following the 0-0 draw at Abbey Road in January, Van Gaal was quoted by Chris Wheeler of the Daily Mail as implying referee Chris Foy was unfair in his assessment of the tie:

"

Every aspect of the match is against us. We have to come here, the pitch isn’t so good, the opponents always give a lot more than they normally give and defending is always easier than attacking and then you have seen the referee. 

It’s always the same. Everywhere I have coached these games — and I have coached them also with other clubs — it’s always the same. You can give your own opinion. I can’t give mine.

"

It's been a frustrating maiden campaign in England for Van Gaal, with his Manchester United team having recently come back from a goal down to earn a somewhat contentious 3-1 victory over Preston North End in the FA Cup's fifth round.

The Dutchman may now look to keep a more conservative approach in his media comments, lest he be put at risk of further punishment from the FA.
