José Mourinho took a sarcastic jab at referee Clément Turpin following his red card during Fenerbahce's 1-1 draw against Manchester United, a match that saw him face off against his former club. After the game, Mourinho praised Turpin, calling him “one of the best referees in the world,” in a tone that clearly conveyed his frustration. The incident occurred in the second half when Mourinho vehemently protested a decision, believing his team deserved a penalty after Youssef En-Nesyri equalized, canceling out Christian Eriksen's earlier goal. Following his dismissal, Mourinho was relegated to the stands for the remainder of the match. He later revealed that he approached Turpin to discuss the reasons behind his sending off.
