Jose Mourinho sweating on disciplinary ruling

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho will find out today if the Football Association deem his weekend sending off worthy of a touchline ban.

Having regularly butted heads with the English football’s governing body during his spells at Chelsea, it comes as little surprise to see the Portuguese in hot water once again. Mourinho had until the close of play yesterday to respond to a misconduct charge dished out by the FA following comments about referee Anthony Taylor in the lead up to the 0-0 draw at Liverpool earlier in the month.

It is understood the disciplinary commission is to rule on the matter before the week is out, but it is the punishment for Saturday’s behaviour in the goalless draw with Burnley that may land the hardest blow.
