The Special One has been charged due to 'abusive and/or insulting' comments he made after the Newcastle win.

Jose Mourinho has been charged by the FA ahead of Man United's crucial clash with Chelsea, but the Special One could be available at the dugout for that tie. Although a touchline ban is a likely punishment for the manager, he can delay this until after the weekend trip.

The Red Devils boss is in hot water over "abusive and/or insulting" remarks that he made immediately after the final whistle for the Newcastle game. It had been suggested that Jose would be sacked no matter the result, but his team pulled off an amazing 3-2 comeback to pour water over those claims.

Regardless, the 55-year-old allegedly said to the camera "f**k off, sons of a b**ch". He is thus facing a possible touchline ban alongside a fine, which would keep him out of Saturday's Stamford Bridge visit, but there is a way around this.

As written by the Times, Jose could delay that punishment until after Saturday's early kick-off. The Portuguese tactician has until 6 pm on Friday to respond to the charge. Whether he accepts or denies the charge, a three-man commission will listen to evidence from the involved parties regardless.

If Mourinho pushes back his response until the very last minute, that will leave the commission with insufficient time to hear the evidence and give out a ruling before the Chelsea game. Jose would thus be free to be pitchside for their crucial away game.

Regardless, Mourinho's presence alone will not be enough to overcome Sarri's high-flying side, as Pogba and Co. will need to up their game in order to avoid defeat. If the Special One ends up with a touchline ban, he will still miss an important tie as Man United will host Everton in the English top-flight after their trip to London.
