Cleverley was sent off during his side's 3-2 win over Luton on Saturday, as was captain Joe Edwards.

It is alleged by the FA that he "acted in an improper manner" by "repeatedly disagreeing with decisions".

It is also claimed Cleverley, 36, used abusive and/or insulting words towards an official following his dismissal.

An FA statement read: "Plymouth Argyle manager Tom Cleverley has been charged with misconduct following their EFL League One game against Luton Town.

"It's alleged that Mr Cleverely acted in an improper manner by repeatedly disgareeing with decisions and/or dissent and/or using insulting and/or abusive words, leading to his dismissal.

"It's further alleged that following his dismissal, he used abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official around the 72nd minute.

"Thomas Cleverley has until Monday September 22 to provide a response."

Some feel the FA have been too severe with their punishment, claiming every manager is liable to be charged given the criteria.

One fan reacted saying: "'Repeatedly disagreeing with decisions'? 😅 are they gonna charge 92 managers? Utter woke nonsense."

Another added: "Any chance we can have some regulation and discipline against referees??"

A third wrote: "It's not easy playing against 12 men."

And another commented: "Cleverley isn’t the issue here."

Cleverley, who formerly managed Watford, took over at Plymouth in the summer and has had a mixed start to the season.

The club currently sit 17th in League One with three wins and five defeats.
