London: Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho will face no further action from the English Football Association following his dismissal in the Premier League clash at Southampton at the weekend. The 54-year-old was sent to the stands by referee Craig Pawson for encroaching on the pitch during stoppage time of his side’s 1-0 win at St Mary’s on Saturday. Unlike players, there are no automatic bans for red-carded managers and any additional punishment depends on the referee’s report. Mourinho appears to have taken the referee’s decision without any further comment or reaction and the matter is closed.
