Jose Mourinho could face a second Football Association charge in less than a week after he was sent to the stands against Burnley on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The Manchester United boss has until 6pm on Monday to respond to a misconduct charge related to comments he made about referee Anthony Taylor prior to his side’s match at Liverpool earlier this month.<\/p>\n
And the FA is awaiting the referee’s report after Mark Clattenburg apparently sent the Portuguese to the stands at half-time of the goalless draw against the Clarets at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Former Chelsea boss Mourinho had been furious when Clattenburg turned down Matteo Darmian’s penalty appeal for a Jon Flanagan challenge just prior to the half-time whistle and his protestations may have accounted for his subsequent removal from the bench.<\/p>\n
Mourinho was not in the dugout or on the touchline after the interval and, having taken a seat in the front row alongside supporters, he eventually relocated to the directors’ box.<\/p>\n
Mourinho left Rui Faria to address the media, with his assistant offering a sarcastic riposte on the decision to send off Ander Herrera.<\/p>\n
Herrera picked up a second yellow card for a challenge on midfielder Dean Marney in the second period, which seemed to be a result of a slip rather than indicative of any malice. Faria’s view was laced with sarcasm.<\/p>\n
“About that, I just want to say, fantastic work from the referee,” he said after Saturday’s match.<\/p>\n
Faria was also asked about Mourinho watching the second half from the stands and passing notes to assistants to take to the bench.<\/p>\n
“To be fair I don’t know and I don’t think it’s very important,” Faria added.<\/p>\n
“What is important is what the referee will write in his report. Apart from that, I can’t give you more details. It happened with them.”<\/p>\n
