Mourinho charged with improper conduct

The Football Association has charged Jose Mourinho with improper conduct after the Manchester United manager's dismissal in Sunday's draw with West Ham. 

Mourinho has been given until 6pm on Thursday to respond to the charge, which comes after he was sent off for the second time this season. 

Referee Jon Moss disciplined the Portuguese when he reacted by angrily kicking a bottle of water on the touchline after Paul Pogba's booking for diving in the first half of the 1-1 draw. 

The Portuguese has already served one touchline ban this season, having disputed a decision during United's 0-0 home draw with Burnley in October. 

That followed disciplinary action taken against him for comments made about referee Anthony Taylor before their Premier League fixture at Liverpool, which also finished 0-0.

 "Jose Mourinho has been charged following Manchester United's game against West Ham United on Sunday (27 November 2016)," read the full statement from the FA. 

"It is alleged his behaviour in or around the 27th minute of the game amounts to improper conduct. "He has until 6pm on 1 December 2016 to respond to the charge."
