LVG response date extended

MANCHESTER United boss Louis van Gaal has been given an extra 24 hours to respond to his FA disrepute charge.

Van Gaal was charged by the governing body for remarks that “allege and/or imply bias on the part of the match referee and/or bringing the game into disrepute” following comments he made after United’s FA Cup clash with Cambridge.

Van Gaal was initially told to answer the charge by last night, but will now have until 6pm tonight to give his response.
