Mourinho could still face ban for alleged TV camera swearing rant as FA decides to appeal decision

The Football Assocation is to appeal the decision not to charge Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho for comments he made after his side's win over Newcastle last month.

The FA claims the Red Devils boss swore in Portuguese at a TV camera as he made his way down the touchline at Old Trafford following United's 3-2 comeback win at Old Trafford.

A lip reader was used by the FA to try to interpret what Mourinho said as he made his way towards the tunnel, with the Portuguese’s remarks subsequently deemed as offensive.

Mourinho looked to have escaped punishment when Independent Regulatory Commission found the charge unproven at a hearing last week.
