Manchester United defender Phil Jones backs Jose Mourinho over touchline outbursts

Manchester United's players are not bothered by Jose Mourinho's constant touchline outbursts as Phil Jones claimed the manager's passion is positive.

Mourinho is facing a third FA charge in a matter of weeks after being sent to the stands by Jon Moss during the 1-1 draw against West Ham on Sunday.

The Portuguese reacted angrily to Moss handing Paul Pogba a yellow card for simulation, taking his frustration out on a nearby water bottle, booting it 20 metres down the touchline.

It follows a half-time rant at Mark Clattenburg during the goalless draw with Burnley and another charge for questioning the wisdom of appointing Anthony Taylor to referee the trip to Liverpool.
