Jose Mourinho ban: Manchester United boss accepts one-game touchline ban to guarantee he is back for Arsene Wenger battle

JOSE MOURINHO will take a one-match touchline ban for his tunnel bust-up with ref Mark Clattenburg — so he can lock horns with old foe Arsene Wenger.

The Manchester United boss was hit with a misconduct rap after his clash during Saturday’s  draw with Burnley.

FA bosses believe the offence is  a “standard penalty” — an £8,000 fine plus  one-game touchline ban — to be  served at Swansea on Sunday.

Mourinho has until 6pm on Friday to accept the charge.

If not, he  could get a two-game ban, which would mean he could not go head-to-head with Wenger when Arsenal visit Old Trafford on November 19.
