Jose Mourinho has been charged with misconduct following his sending-off during Manchester United's goalless draw with Burnley on Saturday.

Mourinho was sent to the stands at half-time during United's goalless draw at home to Burnley on Saturday after a furious bust-up with referee Mark Clattenburg.

Mourinho had been angered by Clattenburg's decision not to award United a penalty when Matteo Darmian went down in the area following a clash with Jon Flanagan.

Insulting and/or abusive language towards a match official carries a more severe punishment than general misconduct, such as that given to Stoke boss Mark Hughes earlier this season.

The standard penalty is a fine and one-match touchline ban if it is accepted by the manager. If contested and the perpetrator is found guilty, the penalty is a fine and two-match ban.

The ‘consistently petulant’ Jose Mourinho is suddenly beginning to look very old compared to Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino, says Alyson Rudd

A statement from the FA on Tuesday afternoon read: "Jose Mourinho has been charged with misconduct following Manchester United's game against Burnley on Saturday October 26.

"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 November 4 to respond to the charge."
