The Football Association (FA), has contacted Manchester United coach, Jose Mourinho, to ask him for explanation over his comments he made about referee Anthony Taylor, ahead of Monday’s 0-0 draw with Liverpool at Anfield.
During his pre-match news conference, Mourinho said Altrincham-based Taylor would struggle to have “a very good performance”.
“I think Mr Taylor is a very good referee but I think somebody with intention is putting such a pressure on him that I feel that it will be difficult for him to have a very good performance,” he said.
After the game, Mourinho also spoke about Taylor’s performance.
“He had a good game and I am happy for him because people with responsibilities put a lot of pressure on him and it was very difficult for him to have a good performance, which he had,” he said.
Mourinho has until 6pm on Friday, to respond to the FA and is at risk of getting a ban.
The Portuguese has previously been punished by the FA over refereeing issues.
