Jose Mourinho charge: Has Man Utd boss avoided touchline ban vs Chelsea by doing THIS?
MANCHESTER UNITED boss Jose Mourinho has asked for more time to respond to his FA charge so he will now be allowed on the touchline for tomorrow’s clash against Chelsea.

Mourinho initially had until 6pm this evening to respond to the improper conduct charge which was issued after United’s 3-2 win against Newcastle.
The Portuguese said "fodas filhos de puta", which translates from Portuguese as "f*** off sons of b*****s”, in front of the cameras when exiting the pitch.
He also gestured towards the camera as he walked off by pointing the little finger on his right hand out towards it.
The Red Devils boss could have been slapped with a one-game ban, meaning he would have missed his return to Stanmford Bridge.

Mourinho can now completely focus on his return to Chelsea, although he promises not to get carried away with the occasion.
“For me is another game, would I celebrate like crazy my team goal at Stamford Bridge or my team victory at Stamford Bridge?” he said.
“I don’t think so, I think I would try to control myself and to respect the stadium and the supporters that were my supporters and stadium for many years.

Luke Shaw 'knows' Mourinho may be SACKED says pundit
“To do that should be something I completely lost my emotional control, which is not easy.
"So I would think which stadium I am, which public is in the stands but apart from that is another match for me.
“I want to do well for my team, players, support, I am 100 per cent Manchester United tomorrow, no more space than respect for the stadium and the fans.”
