Jose Mourinho eyes Arsene Wenger's FA chargeBy AFPShare this story:[PHOTO: COURTESY]Jose Mourinho intends to keep a close watch on how the Football Association deal with the misconduct charge facing Arsene Wenger. Manchester United manager Mourinho is keen to ensure Wenger is dealt with correctly after the Arsenal boss was accused of verbally abusing and pushing a fourth official during a win against Burnley on Sunday. And in 2012, then-Newcastle manager Alan Pardew was fined and given a two-match touchline ban for pushing an assistant referee during a game against Tottenham. Wenger did later apologise for his conduct, but Mourinho said: "I never pushed the referee so I don't have a comparison. The two managers have exchanged insults frequently down the years, and had a physical confrontation during a league match at Stamford Bridge in October 2014, when Wenger pushed Mourinho, then in charge at Chelsea.
