Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho set for further disciplinary action after Old Trafford dismissal
Cantankerous Manchester Untied boss Jose Mourinho is set to face further disciplinary action after being sent to the stands for the second time in a month during his side’s 1-1 draw with West Ham on Sunday.
Mourinho was dismissed by referee Jon Moss after he kicked a water bottle in frustration at £89m midfielder Paul Pogba being shown a yellow card for diving. Replays indicated that West Ham’s Mark Noble made no contact with the Frenchman.
The Portuguese received a touchline ban after he was sent off during his side’s goalless draw with Burnley on 29 October, while he was also slapped with a fine for comments made about referee Anthony Taylor in the build up to United’s clash with Liverpool.
Moss and Mourinho have previous. The Sunderland-born official also dismissed the former Inter manager when he was in charge of Chelsea in October 2015. Mourinho faces the prospect of a two-match touchline suspension.
