The FA is set to investigate Jose Mourinho's comments following Manchester United's 3-2 win over Newcastle on Saturday

With the FA set to investigate Jose Mourinho's touchline comments after Manchester United's win over Newcastle, Sky Sports looks at his previous sanctions from the governing body.

Mourinho was caught on camera as he left the pitch at full-time at Old Trafford following his side's last minute 3-2 win last weekend, appearing to speak in Portuguese, and could face a touchline ban if he is found to have used 'offensive, insulting or abusive language'.

The Portuguese has been sanctioned on numerous occasions over his three spells in the Premier League, twice with Chelsea and now with current club Manchester United.

First spell at Chelsea

In January 2005, he was fined £5,000 for accusing Manchester United of cheating after the first leg of their League Cup semi-final.

Return of the Special One

Mourinho was also sanctioned heavily during his second spell in charge of Chelsea after returning to the club in 2013.

In October 2013, he was fined £8,000 after being sent off by referee Anthony Taylor in Chelsea's 4-1 win over Cardiff, while a month later he was fined £8,000 again after being sent to the stands by referee Chris Foy during a Chelsea loss at Aston Villa.

After Sunderland inflicted his first home Premier League loss as Chelsea manager in April 2014, Mourinho was fined £10,000 for sarcasm towards referee Mike Dean.

In December of that year, Mourinho complained of a "clear campaign" against Chelsea after Cesc Fabregas was denied a penalty at Southampton and, despite contesting an improper conduct charge, he was fined £25,000.

Shortly after that he was banned for one game and fined £16,000 after being sent to the stands by Jon Moss for kicking a water bottle against West Ham.

Elsewhere

Mourinho has incurred the wrath of different organisations during his spells in Spain with Real Madrid and in Serie A with Inter Milan.

In February 2010, while in charge of Inter Milan, Mourinho received a €40,000 fine and a three-game ban after making handcuff gestures during a draw with Sampdoria. Inter had Walter Samuel and Ivan Cordoba sent off, and Mourinho was convinced there was a refereeing conspiracy against his side.
