Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was on Thursday charged with misconduct over comments he made about the referee in charge of this month’s Liverpool game, the Football Association has announced. United’s outspoken Portuguese boss faces a disciplinary hearing after questioning referee Anthony Taylor’s suitability to take charge of the October 17 game at Anfield. “It is alleged his comments were improper and/or brought the game into disrepute contrary to FA Rule E3(1).”Mourinho has until Monday to respond to the charge, the governing body added. After the drab goalless draw Mourinho praised the performance of Taylor, whose four bookings in the match all went to United players. “Can I speak about the referee without being punished?” he asked the club’s press officer.
