We still don’t know exactly what Jose Mourinho said/did to Mark Clattenburg to warrant getting sent to the stands at half time during Manchester United’s 0-0 draw with Burnley on Saturday.
Whatever it was, it’s landed him in a spot of bother with the FA. It was announced on Wednesday afternoon that not only was the United boss being fined £8,000 for whatever happened in the Old Trafford tunnel, he would also have to serve a touchline ban for the weekend visit to Swansea.
Presumably, Mourinho will take his seat in the stands alongside whichever United players aren’t fit or in favour with their manager. This was the case during the second half against Burnley, as Mourinho found himself sitting on the row in front of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Anthony Martial, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Eric Bailly.
Part way through that second half, Bailly – injured at Chelsea a week earlier – appeared to try and snap a quick selfie alongside his teammates. Spotting this, the pictures below appear to show Mourinho swiftly putting a stop to it.

If the Ivorian does make the trip to watch his teammates at the Liberty Stadium at the weekend, he might want to leave his phone on the bus.
