A frustrated Mourinho abruptly ended the interview when he was asked about his complaint of centre referee Mike Jones.

“If you don't know football, you shouldn't be with a microphone in your hand,” the manager told the questioner.

Mourinho also had a dig at Arsene Wenger and Jurgen Klopp claiming he was treated differently from the two managers.

Wenger got a four-match touchline ban for pushing a fourth official while Klopp screamed in the face of the fourth official during Liverpool’s 1-1 draw at home to Chelsea on Tuesday

“You know clearly that I am different. The rules for me are different. I am different in everything,” Mourinho said.

“I (had to) watch my team play in a hotel, I was forbidden to go to the stadium, my assistant had a six-match stadium ban and he didn't touch anyone.

“On Tuesday, one fourth official told a manager: 'I enjoy very much your passion', so do what you want to do.

“Today I was told 'sit down or I have to send you to the stands', so everything is different for me. Don't ask me questions that put me in a difficult situation.”

Mourinho complained about referee not punishing Hull City for their time-wasting technique and also for not showing a red card to Oumar Niasse for a number of fouls

“If I speak I am punished. I don't want to be punished,” the manager added.

“I'm not happy with the result. I won't criticise the opponents because they are fighting for their lives. Every point for them is golden.

“They have to fight with everything they have. They tried to see what they were allowed to do. The referee gave the feedback. And then they were comfortable doing what they did for 90 minutes. I'm not critical of the opposition because they are fighting for their lives.

“If I was in your place I wouldn't ask the manager. I would just see and write what is my opinion. If I was on your side, I wouldn't be asking the United manager. Just write what is happening during almost every game with us.”
