Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho will face no further action from the English Football Association following his dismissal in the Premier League clash at Southampton at the weekend. The 54-year-old was sent to the stands by referee Craig Pawson for encroaching on the pitch during stoppage time of his side’s 1-0 win at St Mary’s on Saturday.
Unlike players, there are no automatic bans for red-carded managers and any additional punishment depends on the referee’s report.  In this case, Mourinho appears to have taken the referee’s decision without any further comment or reaction and the matter is closed. The United boss said after the match that he was baffled by his red card . “I don’t know,” he said. “Craig told me to leave, and I left.”
The FA is also taking no action at this point against United over the singing of a controversial chant about striker Romelu Lukaku by fans. The club are understood to be liaising with Southampton to gain access to CCTV footage of Saturday’s crowd so it can identify those responsible. United reiterated their condemnation of the crude chant about Lukaku. Both United and Belgian striker Lukaku had previously implored supporters to stop singing the song, which draws on racial stereotypes about the size of black men’s penises. But fans sang it again at St Mary’s, as well as “We’re Man United, we’ll sing what we want”.

Bayern add retired goalkeeper Starke to CL squad

Bayern Munich have reacted to Manuel Neuer’s long-term injury by naming retired goalkeeper Tom Starke, now a coach in their academy, in their Champions League squad. Bayern face Paris Saint-Germain away tomorrow in a key match in a Group B which also contains Celtic and Anderlecht.
Starke, 36, has been Bayern’s goalkeeping co-ordinator in their academy since the start of the season having retired in May. Neuer is out until January after fracturing his foot, so Sven Ulreich is now Bayern’s first-choice goalkeeper with academy product Christian Fruechtl, 17, acting as his back up.
Unlike the outfield positions, clubs can change their goalkeepers during the group stage and Bayern can bring back Neuer in the new year if they qualify for the last 16. Bayern, currently third in the German Bundesliga after throwing away a two-goal lead in Friday’s 2-2 draw at home to Wolfsburg, also welcome back left-back David Alaba and attacking midfielder Thiago Alcantara to their squad for Paris.
The pair trained yesterday after recovering from injuries. Alaba has been out since September 5 after injuring his left ankle while on international duty with Austria, while Thiago picked up a groin injury against Wolfsburg.

Sacked Escriba replaced by Calleja at Villarreal
Villarreal promoted B team coach Javi
Calleja to first-team boss yesterday following the sacking of Fran Escriba and his backroom staff.
A 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Getafe on Sunday left Villarreal just three points above the relegation zone in 14th with seven points from their first six games.
Escriba, 52, was a surprise appointment when Marcelino Garcia Toral was sacked just days before the start of the season in August last year.
