Mourinho handed one-match touchline ban & fined by FA

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has been handed a one-match touchline ban and fined 50,000 pounds ($61,460) by the Football Association for two separate incidents involving referees.

The first charge happened when Mourinho made disparaging comments regarding the assignment of referee Anthony Taylor to officiate the Old Trafford side's 0-0 draw against Liverpool in October.

The Portuguese then fell afoul of English football's governing body after he was sent off in United's recent clash with Burnley, during which he had verbally abused referee Mark Clattenberg.

Mourinho had not appealed the incident in which he was sent to the stands for protesting Clattenberg's refusal to award his side a penalty for a trip on Matteo Darmian in the box, and the FA has now published the punishment.
