# Mourinho hit with second misconduct charge

Manchester United manager José Mourinho has been hit with another misconduct charge by the [Football Association](https://www.thefa.com/news/2016/nov/01/mourinho-charged-burnley-01112016) after being sent to the stands during United’s goalless draw with Burnley on Saturday.

This is the second misconduct charge that has been levied on the Portuguese manager in a week, after he was charged with comments made towards referee Anthony Taylor before the clash against Liverpool in mid-October.

Mourinho was sent to the stands by referee Mark Clattenburg at Old Trafford at the start of the second half, after he protested vehemently at a decision not to give United a penalty. Matteo Darmian had been clipped by Jon Flanagan near the edge of the area, although it was marginal as to whether it should have been a penalty.

The 53-year-old emerged for the second half but was escorted to a seat in the stands before being moved to the directors’ box just a few minutes later. He declined to speak to the press after the match, with assistant Rui Faria handling media duties.

The FA statement reads:

> *Jose Mourinho has been charged with misconduct following Manchester United’s game against Burnley on Saturday \[29 October 2016\].*
>
> *It is alleged that in or around the tunnel area at half-time he used abusive and/or insulting words towards a Match Official.*
>
> *He has until 6pm on 4 November 2016 to respond to the charge.*

Possible punishments for the misconduct include a warning, fine, touchline ban or stadium ban.
