Billy Sharp has three goals in 28 games this season
The Football Association has charged Sheffield United captain Billy Sharp with inappropriate behavior over his comments after the FA Cup win over Wrexham.
The FA said its comments imply bias and/or attack the referee’s integrity.
Sharp told ITV Sport after the game that he thought the referee had “helped” the National League side and “didn’t give him a foul all night”.
The 37-year-old striker has until Tuesday 21 February to comment.
Sharp, who scored his side’s second goal in the 3-1 win in the replay, said at the time: “I’m glad we beat them.
“They’re doing well in their league and we’re doing well in ours, but I wasn’t happy with some of their players there.
“The way they were as a club before the game and they eyed Spurs before the game – they hadn’t even beat us.
“They thought we would just turn around when they come back in and I think the referee helped them too, I don’t think he gave me a foul all night.”
