Jose Mourinho saw the funny side of his run-ins with the FA after Man Utd's 2-1 victory over Juventus on Wednesday night.

The Portuguese is no stranger to being criticised for his behaviour, after he was almost charged by the English FA after mouthing an offensive phrase in his native Portuguese at a TV camera, after a victory against Newcastle.

Mourinho again made headlines as he went on to the pitch after the game to make a gesture with his hand that suggested he was inciting the Juventus supporters to became more angry.

The move outraged Juventus players and fans, and while he later admitted he regretted the gesture he refused to painted as fully in the wrong.

When asked about his conduct after the game, Mourinho responded to a reporter: "Do you understand Italian?".

When she responded that he didn't, the former Inter boss replied "Well, ask the FA and they will translate for you!", in reference to translator they hired to interpret his comments in Portuguese, before erupting in to laughter.
