Manchester United's Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho sits in the stands ahead of the English Premier League football match between Swansea City and Manchester United at The Liberty Stadium in Swansea, south Wales on November 6, 2016. Mourinho must watch from the stand at the Liberty Stadium, having been given a one-match ban for confronting referee Mark Clattenburg at half-time during last weekend's goalless draw with Burnley. / AFP PHOTO / GEOFF CADDICK / RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE.

United were left four points off the Champions League spots in sixth place after failing to exploit the points dropped the previous evening by leaders Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.
Mourinho suggested referee Mike Jones had showed Hull too much leniency, but when asked to elaborate, he told a BBC reporter: “If you do not know football, you should not have a microphone in your hand.”
He then walked away, cutting the interview short.
Mourinho had also accused officials of double standards, citing Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp’s comment that the fourth official told him “I like your passion” during his side’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea.
“Yesterday a fourth official told a manager: ‘I enjoy very much your passion,'” said the United manger.
“Today I am told to sit down or I am going to be sent to the stand.”
