Moyes later telephoned Sparks to apologise for the comment and did so again once the footage had been made public.
The FA had initially asked Moyes for his observations and, having received them, opted to charge him — alleging his comments were “improper and/or threatening and/or brought the game into disrepute, contrary to FA Rule E3 (1)”.
It is expected he will be fined should he be found guilty.
The 2016-17 campaign has been a dismal one for Moyes, who has already seen Sunderland relegated.
