Mourinho: was sent off during Manchester United's Premier League game against West Ham...

Jose Mourinho has been sent off after becoming enraged and kicking a water bottle

Jose Mourinho was sent off during Manchester United's Premier League game against West Ham after kicking a water bottle on the touchline at Old Trafford. The United manager was angry at referee Jonathan Moss' decision to book Paul Pogba for diving in the first half, shortly after Zlatan Ibrahimovic had made it 1-1.
It is the second time Mourinho has been sent to the stands this season, having also been dismissed at half-time of the 0-0 home draw against Burnley.  It made it twice in three home league games that the Portuguese has been sent off.
The Burnley incident was also due to anger at a referee's decision, when he was unhappy at Mark Clattenburg not awarding them a first-half penalty. The incident against Burnley meant Mourinho was banned from the touchline for their following game - a 3-1 win at Swansea City - and he may face further punishment for this outburst.
After the Burnley game Mourinho refused to speak to the media, with assistant Rui Faria facing journalists instead. The booking was Pogba's fifth yellow card of the season, meaning he will be suspended for United's EFL Cup game, also against West Ham.
Despite Mourinho's anger, TV replays indicated Pogba had gone down without contact from Mark Noble, and the booking was justified.
Last month, Mourinho was charged by the FA for his comments about the appointment of Anthony Taylor to referee their game against Liverpool. Mourinho has history of antagonising Moss - in October last year as Chelsea manager, he was sent off by the same referee against the same opponents, in West Ham's 2-1 win on October 24. On that occasion Mourinho and one of his coaches were dismissed for their angry to reaction to midfielder Nemanja Matic's red card.
