Manchester United defender Rio
Ferdinand has been charged with violent conduct following an
incident during Saturday's Premier League game against Hull
City, the Football Association (FA) said on its website on
Tuesday.
The England international was involved in a clash with Hull
striker Craig Fagan during the second half of United's 4-0 win.
It was Ferdinand's first match back after a long-term injury
which had kept him out of the side since October.
Ferdinand can either plead guilty and accept a three-match
suspension or challenge the decision with the risk of a stiffer
punishment.
He could miss Premier League matches against Arsenal,
Portsmouth and Aston Villa.
