Jose Mourinho skips Manchester United press conference

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho opted not to attend the post-match press conference at Old Trafford this evening after witnessing his side being held to a goalless draw by Burnley.

The Portuguese was forced to spend the second half of the encounter in the stands after an alleged argument with referee Mark Clattenburg during the break over a denied penalty shout.

As a result, Mourinho was free not to perform his usual duties of speaking to the media or attending the traditional post-match presser, with his assistant Rui Faria instead fielding questions from the gathered journalists.

United had 72% possession in the encounter, with 37 shots and 11 on target, as well as 19 corners.

The result leaves them eighth in the Premier League table, eight points shy of leaders Manchester City.
