Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho will escape FA punishment for being sent off against Southampton with club also set to dodge penalty for fans’ Romelu Lukaku song
JOSE MOURINHO and Manchester United are set to avoid FA raps.
The Red Devils' boss was sent off in stoppage time of Saturday’s 1-0 Prem win at Southampton after stepping on to the pitch.
But, unlike red-carded players, managers do not face an automatic ban.
And the FA could go lightly on him when they read ref Craig Pawson’s report today.
Also, the club will not face an FA charge over their fans’ “racist” Romelu Lukaku chant — for now.
The club is trying to identify fans who sang the song which refers to the striker’s manhood.
The chant could be heard at Southampton after Lukaku scored and United will ask for CCTV footage so that they can rebuke those responsible.
If the club does act, they will avoid an FA punishment.
