Wayne Rooney faces a two-match ban from the Football Association for using offensive language during Manchester United's 4-2 win at West Ham.
The United striker swore into a pitchside camera after scoring a penalty and completing his hat-trick at Upton Park.
The England international has until late this afternoon to appeal against the charge.
If he accepts it, he will receive a two-match ban - if he denies the charge his hearing will take place tomorrow.
Rooney quickly apologised for the incident after the victory, which moved Manchester United seven points clear at the top of the Premier League.
The 25-year-old was a major factor in gaining three points for the team as he scored a hat-trick in 14 minutes to help his side recover from being 2-0 down.
In a statement released by United on Saturday, the striker said: "I want to apologise for any offence that may have been caused by my goal celebration, especially any parents or children that were watching."
