Van Gaal was charged after his post match comment claiming the referee was against his side during the 0-0 draw at FA Cup fourth-round opponents Cambridge.
Van Gaal said: "In 30 years as a trainer-coach, I've never been charged. I do not think I said something wrong."
United won Tuesday's replay at Old Trafford 3-0 to set up a fifth-round tie at Preston North End.
After the game at the Abbey Stadium, Van Gaal told the BBC's Match of the Day: "Every aspect of a match is against us - the pitch, the referee."
He later repeated the accusation, adding: "You have seen the referee. It's always the same.
"Everywhere I have coached these games - and I have coached them also with other clubs - it's always the same."
The FA charge states that Van Gaal's words "allege and/or imply bias on the part of the match referee and/or bring the game into disrepute".
