Jose Mourinho appears to be papped by Eric Bailly after being sent to stands

DID Jose Mourinho stop injured Eric Bailly from taking a snap shot of him when he was banished to the stands on Saturday?

It certainly looks like it judging from other photographs taken at Old Trafford on a difficult day for the Manchester United boss.

Bailly is currently out for eight weeks with a knee injury and missed the goalless draw with Burnley.

So he sat alongside Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Anthony Martial and Henrikh Mkhitaryan…a few seats along from Mourinho, sent to the stands by ref Mark Clattenburg for his overly zealous vigorous half-time appeals over a non-penalty award.

Ivory Coast defender Bailly seemingly try and take a picture of his manager before Mourinho waves the youngster’s attempts away.

Fosu-Mensah looks to be wise to events, seemingly to react to the events unfolding in front of him by putting his head in his hands.

Bailly, a £30million summer signing from Villarreal, was also in good form when Fosu-Mensah posted a video of him on Istagram last week.

It shows his mate, hurt in the 4-0 walloping at Chelsea, wearing a leg brace but still managing to hurry past him in a corridor at the Carrington training ground.

Mourinho, meanwhile, will still be struggling to come to terms at how United managed an incredible 37 shots against Burnley yet failed to score.

The FA still looking into Mourinho’s comments about the decision to allow Anthony Taylor to referee United’s recent clash against Liverpool.

And the controversial Portuguese he could face a stadium ban following this weekend’s events.

It could be the FA have run out of patience with Mourinho and their are suggestions that a financial punishment is not enough to rein him in when it comes to his attitude towards referees.
