Jose Mourinho could face potential stadium ban after confronting referee Mark Clattenburg

Jose Mourinho could face a potential stadium ban following his misconduct during Manchester United’s 0-0 draw with Burnley on Saturday.


The United manager was sent to the stands for the second half of the game after confronting referee Mark Clattenburg during the half-time break.

Mourinho allegedly questioned Clattenburg over his decision not to award United a penalty for Matteo Darmian’s altercation with Jon Flanagan in the Burnley box.

Following their conversation, Mourinho was not allowed back into the dugout and eventually moved to the directors’ box after being told he couldn’t sit in the front row.

Mourinho will have to wait for Clattenburg to file his report from Saturday’s match before any retrospective action is taken, but the United manager could face the prospect of a stadium ban.

The flashpoint marks the latest controversy in the manager’s career.

Mourinho currently faces one charge of misconduct from the Football Association with regards to comments he made about referee Anthony Taylor prior to United’s game againstLiverpool on October 17.

In Mourinho’s absence, assistant coach Rui Faria took charge from the sidelines.
