Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho avoided the media after he was sent to the stands at half-time of his side’s Premier League home stalemate against Burnley on Saturday.The Portuguese took up a seatamong the home fans at the start of the second half, but had to move twice and ended up sitting in the Old Trafford directors’ box.Reports suggested he had been expelled from the dugout by referee Mark Clattenburg for protesting after Matteo Darmian had a penalty appeal dismissed following a challenge by Jon Flanagan late in a first half which was dominated by the hosts without reward.The 53-year-old watched the second half from the main stand and saw Ander Herrera red-carded in the 68th-minute as United were held to a goalless draw by a determinedBurnley side, whose goalkeeper Tom Heaton produced a superb performance against his former team.Mourinho was seen passing notes down to his coaching team during the last 45 minutes but it was left to his assistant Rui Faria to field questions after the match.
