Jose Mourinho facing minimum one match ban after being charged by FA

Jose Mourinho is facing a minimum one-match touchline ban after being slapped with a misconduct charge by the Football Association.

The Manchester United manager was sent to the stands during Saturday’s goalless draw against Burnley after a half-time rant at Mark Clattenburg.
The FA saw fit to charge Mourinho with alleged use of ‘abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official’.

Mourinho will sit out one match if he accepts the standard punishment plus a fine, which he has until 6pm on November 4 to respond to.
If he denies it and is subsequently found guilty it would mean a suspension of two games.

Mourinho’s ire was focused on Clattenburg’s refusal to award a penalty after Jon Flanagan’s challenge on Matteo Darmian.
The Portuguese exchanged words with the official in the Old Trafford tunnel as United emerged from the break.
Mourinho had until six o’clock on Monday evening to respond to a separate charge of misconduct following comments made about Anthony Taylor’s selection as referee for the draw at Liverpool.
It is understood he faces a fine, while an FA commission should sit to pass judgement before the end of this week.
Mourinho claimed the Manchester-based referee would find officiating last week’s away trip to Liverpool ‘difficult’.
He was responding to former referees’ chief Keith Hackett questioning Taylor’s appointment, who cited his close proximity to Old Trafford as reason not to be handed the fixture.
It has been a tough start to life at Old Trafford for Mourinho, who has come under pressure following a lacklustre run of results over the past month.
The Red Devils were comprehensively beaten by Chelsea before bouncing back with a 1-0 win against rivals Manchester City in the EFL Cup.
Then followed the game against Burnley, in which United had 37 shots on target but failed to find the back of the net.
Mourinho refused to speak to the media after the game and his assistant, Rui Faria, spoke in his place.
He sarcastically commented on Match of the Day: ‘I just want to say fantastic work from the referee, I will not say more than this.’
