Cameras picked up Mourinho swearing in his native Portuguese after the final whistle as he walked towards the Old Trafford tunnel.

The FA issued the following statement on Tuesday:

"It is alleged that his language at the end of the fixture, as captured by the broadcast footage, was abusive and/ or insulting and/or improper."

Mourinho has until 6 o'clock on Friday to respond to the charge.

According to The Telegraph, Mourinho could be heard saying "fodas filhos de puta" which translates to "f--k off sons of a b---h."

Mourinho's alleged outburst came after his side managed an incredible comeback against the Magpies.

United trailed 2-0 at the break but 3 effective substitutions in the form of Juan Mata, Alexis Sanchez and Marouane Fellaini spurred the Red Devils onto a 3-2 victory and eased the pressure on Mourinho.

If Mourinho is found guilty, it is likely that he could face a touchline ban for his return to former side Chelsea but that remains to be seen.
