José Mourinho gets one-match ban and fine after weekend sending-off

Mourinho has until Thursday evening local time to respond to the charge.

The Special One was dismissed by referee Jon Moss after kicking a water bottle in anger following the official’s decision to show a yellow card to United midfielder Paul Pogba.

After 13 league games, serial victor Mourinho is lagging behind United’s last two managers in terms of points gained.

Former Premier League hitman Jan Aage Fjortoft has told Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho to shut up and start winning.

Instead, Wenger was handed an apology by the game’s authorities, with League Managers’ Association chief Richard Bevan offering these comments after he held discussions with then referees chief Keith Hackett.

His bond with the players which broke down so spectacularly in his second spell at Chelsea a year ago is already showing signs of fatigue at United.

This game though gives United the ideal chance to put things right as they look to progress through to the semi-finals of a competition that they have won on three previous occasions with the last coming in 2010 when they won 4-0 against Wigan Athletic in the final.

“If he doesn’t calm down he could be sent off another six times this season”.

“But at the moment, Mourinho doesn’t look like someone who’s enjoying himself”.

The sad truth is that so far at United, Mourinho has merely tried to do what he always has done and it no longer seems to work. United have just 18 league goals this season from 13 games.

He has two points fewer than David Moyes and Louis van Gaal at the same stage of their first seasons at Old Trafford.

The Irons return to Old Trafford for an EFL Cup quarter-final clash tomorrow night after earning a 1-1 draw away to Jose Mourinho’s side at the weekend.

“It’s positive that we are playing on Wednesday, when we can get revenge”. They’ve won just one of their last seven in the Premier League, and were fairly well-matched at times against Wednesday’s opponents in the league at the weekend.
