TNT reporter reveals what furious Jose Mourinho said off-camera after Man Utd draw

A TNT Sports reporter has revealed exactly what Jose Mourinho said off-camera after Fenerbahce's 1-1 draw with Manchester United.

Mourinho reunited with his former club in the third week of the Europa League group stage campaign, and his team produced a fine performance during the draw.

It perhaps won't surprise you to learn that the Portuguese manager was shown a red card by referee Clement Turpin for what appeared to be dissent after his side were denied a penalty.

Mourinho then gave a classic post-match interview, in which he both refused to comment on the penalty incident and called the referee 'incredible' for his supposed ability to see the penalty area and Mourinho's actions in the technical area at the same time.

He added: "I congratulate him because he is absolutely incredible, his peripheral vision.

"During the game, at 100mph, he had one eye on the penalty situation and he had one eye on the bench and my behaviour. That's the explanation he gave me. That's why he's one of the best referees in the world."

If you thought Mourinho was holding back his true opinions to avoid another UEFA sanction, you would probably be right.

TNT reporter Danny Jamieson - who interviewed the Fenerbahce boss on live TV - took to Twitter to reveal that Mourinho 'made his disgust with the non-award of a penalty very clear to anyone in earshot' as he walked past the press area.

Presenter Jules Breach then explained: "Our reporter Danny Jamieson has confirmed that, on the full-time whistle, Jose Mourinho did storm down the tunnel and had a few choice words to say then.

"He stormed down the tunnel and had a few choice words..."

"Not very nice language, is all I can say. I can't repeat what he said. We're trying to figure out if we can say it in another way, but I don't think we can.

"Football is a disgrace, is what I will leave it at."

Mourinho's Fenerbahce side now have five points from their opening three Europa League games, and remain unbeaten in the competition.

United, meanwhile, have three points after Erik ten Hag's side recorded successive draws against AZ Alkmaar, Porto and now Fenerbahce.
