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 completing his hat-trick at Upton Park.
The England international has until 1800 BST on Tuesday to launch an appeal against the FA charge.
If he accepts it, he will receive a two-match ban but United could look to ask for that to be halved by the FA.
If Rooney denies the charge, a hearing will take place on Wednesday. A one-match ban would result in the United star miss Saturday's Premier League game at home to Fulham, while a two-match suspension would also rule him out of the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City at Wembley on 16 April.
Rooney quickly apologised for his actions after the victory which moved United seven points clear at the top of the Premier League.
