Man Utd news: Jose Mourinho will not face any further FA action after Southampton incident

Jose Mourinho was sent to the stands in injury time of United''s 1-0 win over Southampton after stepping onto the pitch during play.

After encroaching his technical area and entering the pitch, referee Craig Pawson dismissed him from the touchline.

But he will face no touchline ban or fine with the FA deciding not to take any further action.

Many fans and pundits believed the incident to be accidental and after speculation the Portuguese boss could find himself in trouble with the FA, United legend Bryan Robson branded it a “disgrace.” 

“When I saw it on TV, I thought it was an absolute joke,” he said.

"I'll be amazed if he gets a ban or a fine for that. I think the officials went way overboard by sending him to the stand.

"I don't know what the officials are thinking about. 

“Throughout the last year or so, I've seen managers like [Jurgen] Klopp and [Antonio] Conte run about like lunatics, out of their box, down the side of the pitch and not a thing has been made of it - it's called passion for the team.

"But because Mourinho stepped just over the touchline, they sent him to the stands. 

“It'll be a disgrace if he gets fined or banned and made to watch games from the stands over the coming weeks."

Mourinho will be back on the touchline when his side play CSKA Moscow in the Champions League on Wednesday night (7.45pm).
