Jose Mourinho could face a ban after being charged with misconduct following his comments about referee Anthony Taylor.

The Manchester United boss suggested Taylor was under too much pressure ahead of his side's clash with Liverpool earlier this month.

Taylor is from Wythenshawe in Greater Manchester and many Liverpool fans hit out at the appointment.

Mourinho raised his concerns and the FA have confirmed he has been charged.

"It is alleged his comments were improper and/or brought the game into disrepute contrary to FA Rule E3(1).

The United boss has until 6pm on Monday to respond to the charge.
