Jose Mourinho has been charged by the FA for allegedly using abusive language following Manchester United’s win over Newcastle.
An FA statement read: “It is alleged that his language at the end of the fixture, as captured by the broadcast footage, was abusive and/or insulting and/or improper.
“He has until 6pm on October 19 to respond to the charge.”
Mourinho had been under pressure amid reports he would be sacked.
His side had been 2-0 down at half-time of the Premier League game, against a winless Newcastle, but they rallied in the final 20 minutes to win with goals from Juan Mata, Anthony Martial and Alexis Sanchez.
