Faria took Mourinho's place during the post-match media rounds after United drew 0-0 with Burnley, and obviously felt that the midfielder should not have received a second yellow card for a challenge on Dean Marney.

"Well, about that, I just want to say fantastic work from the ref," Faria said.
He said that he did not know what Mourinho's opinion of the red card was, but added that the manager's view was unimportant.
"What is important is what the referee will write in his report," he said, "and apart from that I can't give you more details because it happened with them."
