Mourinho's temper boils as Manchester United settle for goaless draw

It might seem strange that Jose Mourinho is still living in a hotel nearly six months after taking over at Manchester United and he was similarly dislocated for the second half of United’s frustrating,


temperamental stalemate against Burnley.
Mourinho’s passions got the better of him right before half-time on a day that was shaping up to be fruitless even at that stage. The United manager’s calls for a penalty stemmed from a Jon Flanagan challenge on Matteo Darmian just inside the Burnley area; it was a long-shot at best but Mourinho cried out in desperation for it to be given.
He tore into Kevin Friend – the fourth official – on the sidelines with later reports suggesting that his row carried on to the tunnel where he confronted Mark Clattenburg. Mourinho was frog-marched through the Sir Bobby Charlton stand at the start of the second period – all the way up to the players’ enclosure where he sat beside those who he’d left out of the matchday 18.
The referee did not exactly endear himself to the Old Trafford faithful throughout – there was that denied penalty call plus another in the second half on Darmian while the second yellow card he gave to Ander Herrera - which saw the Spaniard dismissed - was a mistake. Herrera was rightly booked for a first-half slider on Dean Marney but clearly slipped going in for the second. He was clapped off the field from a crowd that could appreciate the injustice.
Mourinho’s assistant in the stands was running as much as any of the players during the second half, carrying messages from the boss’s station in the United players’ row all the way down to Rui Faria on the sidelines.
