EPL: Mourinho likely to miss Chelsea, Manchester United clash

Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, may not be on the touchline, when his side travel to take on Chelsea in the Premier League this weekend.

Mourinho has been charged by the Football Association, for using “improper and abusive language” following their dramatic 3-2 win over Newcastle two weeks ago.

The former Chelsea boss could potentially face a touchline ban if he is found guilty.

Last season, he was sent to the stands by referee Mark Clattenburg for an incident “in or around the tunnel area during half-time” during a goalless draw with Burnley on October 29.

He subsequently served a touchline ban for the 3-1 win at Swansea on November 6 and paid a fine of £8,000.

In another incident, he was fined £50,000 for comments made about referee Anthony Taylor.

Mourinho said it would be “difficult” for Taylor to officiate United’s game at Liverpool on October 17, 2016. The match ended in a goalless draw.
