Mourinho was put down by the Football Association this week for a new look at a TV camera after the 3-2 win against Newcastle.

It is thought Mourinho believes the charge – which is likely to carry a touchline of truth – is another example of the witch-hunt against him "If I answer to your question, I probably have another process, so my answer is 'no answer'," he said.

Mourinho, who has until 6pm on Wednesday (local time) to respond to the charge, would have gone to the dugout regardless of Stamford Bridge, where he has gone to "celebrate like crazy" if United score or win out of respect to his train club's fans.

Mourinho is also worried about the future of the United States, when it is trailed 2-0 after 10 minutes before recovering to win. the manager was about to be sacked.

"Some of the players looked depressed in the first half with the result, and with the pre-match, because the pre-match was difficult for them," Mourinho said. "We did not sleep in the hotel, everyone stayed at his own house, and I think the players when they woke up – because they read on social media – the pre-match was not easy for them."

Nonetheless, Mourinho has had no stranger to criticizing his own team and still appeared to be damned when he asked them why they were unable to replicate the second-half performance against Newcastle over 90 minutes. "We try," he said. "The key is for the players to be able to do it."

Mourinho believes this may be the only way Edenham can maintain his blistering form. He said that he would like to play for Mourinho again, but he said he would like to see him at Old Trafford, he said Chelsea would never sell to them.

"I would love to have him in Manchester United goal … Chelsea is led by smart and experienced people and they would never sell Eden to Man United," he said.

"History says that when Eden Hazard is the best player in the Premier League, Chelsea is the champion. [in 2014-15] and Antonio [Conte, in 2016-17], and this season is the best player until now Chelsea is in the league because he is the kind who can make a huge difference. "
