He sat first with fans next to the home dugout before being moved and ending up in the directors’ box where he passed notes to the bench.

Mourinho’s No 2 Rui Faria claimed: “It is not important what Jose said. What is important is what the referee writes in his report.”

Mourinho, who did not speak publically after the game, already has an FA misconduct charge hanging over him for comments about ref Anthony Taylor before facing Liverpool.

And officials will now study Clattenburg’s report tomorrow before deciding if Mourinho will face further punishment.

The Portuguese, 53, was banned for a match at Stoke a year ago while Chelsea boss after being sent to the stands against West Ham by Jon Moss.

He was also given a suspended stadium ban for claiming  officials were “afraid” to give Chelsea decisions — but that expired earlier this month.

Clattenburg was targeted by Mourinho after the Manchester derby earlier this season when he felt the County Durham official should have given TWO penalties to United.

And he clashed with him again yesterday after Matteo Darmian went over in the box.

To cap a miserable day for United, Ander Herrera was also sent off with Faria sarcastically praising  the referee for his  “fantastic work” over the  Spaniard’s dismissal.
