It's happened again. For the second time in three home games, Jose Mourinho is watching from the Old Trafford stands. He's been sent to the stands during the Red Devils late kick off against West Ham.
This time, it was ironically for imitating Arsene Wenger in the same ground in 2009.
Paul Pogba (the most expensive player in the world!) was booked for diving after a coming together with Mark Noble. José was apoplectic and took his rage out by booting a nearby water bottle. In line with the rulebook Jon Moss came to the sideline and dismissed the Portuguese gaffer.
Mourinho has just come off the back of a one game touchline ban after being sanctioned for his comments about Mark Clattenburg. He was fined £50,000 for those. It's hard to imagine him avoiding a similar punishment for today's discretion.
The decision split social media.
Jose Mourinho has been sent off more times this season (2) than all of his Manchester United players combined (1).

Fair to say Jose Mourinho and Jon Moss have history. Sent him off at West Ham last year. JM ranted at him at half-time and got stadium ban

Was actually a great strike by Mourinho. Quite hard to kick a water bottle in a perfectly straight line over a cambered surface. 10/10

Jose sent to the stands again. He really is a tool.

The post match interview will make for interesting listening. Assistant manager Rui Faria is now trying to guide United to a victory. They had fallen behind within two mintues thanks to a Diafra Sakho goal but Zlatan Ibrahimovic's header has them level at half time.
