Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho sweating over touchline ban as he waits to find out punishment

Jose Mourinho will find out on Tuesday whether his latest misdemeanour results in a touchline ban.

The Manchester United manager was sent to the stands during Saturday's goalless draw against Burnley after a half-time rant at Mark Clattenburg, something he could be forced to sit out two games for.

Mourinho's ire was focused on Clattenburg's refusal to award a penalty after Jon Flanagan's challenge on Matteo Darmian.

The Portuguese exchanged words with the official in the Old Trafford tunnel as United emerged from half-time and is facing the prospect of a two-match ban if charged for the use of insulting or abusive language.
