Jose Mourinho: Manchester United boss had every right to blow up over Arsene Wenger’s four-match ban for pushing an official

JOSE MOURINHO was so wild-eyed in the referee’s room at West Ham last season that Jon Moss thought he was in danger of physical confrontation.

Snarling, steaming and using every swear word known to man, the Special One shut the door and refused to leave at half-time.

The one thing that Mourinho did not do — irrespective of his unacceptable behaviour that day — was to come into physical contact with any of the match officials.

For that reason, he had every right to finally blow up about Arsene Wenger’s four-match touchline ban for shoving Anthony Taylor.

Wenger, who initially denied on television that it had even happened, changed his tune shortly afterwards when he realised he had been caught out.

Mourinho felt the same way about Jurgen Klopp, who has escaped punishment after shouting in the face of the fourth official during Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Tuesday.

Mourinho knows that he is judged differently, partly because of his frequent brushes with authority.

This week simply confirmed it.
