Jose Mourinho risks FA rap for pinky finger gesture… amid claims Manchester United boss is mocking small manhood

His comments into a TV camera in Portuguese are already being investigated by the governing body.


The Manchester United boss has made this gesture on three occasions — and it is widely interpreted as suggesting that someone is less than well-endowed.

Mourinho pointed it at the camera on his way off the pitch following the 3-2 comeback win over Newcastle on Saturday.

He also shout­ed “fodas filhos de puta”, which translates as “f*** off sons of b*****s”.

That was seen as a direct message to his critics including TV pundit Paul Scholes, who has attacked Mourinho’s reign.


Old Trafford legend Scholes has even accused Mourinho of EMBARRASSING the club.

And Mourinho believes Scholes and Rio Ferdinand are part of what he calls a “manhunt” against him.

He was asked on Saturday what the finger gesture meant and said: “Is a finger. Is a finger smaller than the others. Is a finger.”

While it will be tough to prove what he meant, it was interesting that he used it in anger during that foul-mouthed rant on Saturday.

Some fans on social media are convinced it refers to "little men".

Mourinho also made the gesture after their 0-0 draw with Valencia — and at snappers from his car ahead of the Toon game.

Discussing United’s 3-1 loss at West Ham before Saturday’s game, Scholes rapped: “I am surprised he survived, the performance was so bad.

“I think his mouth is out of control and he’s embarrassing the club.”
