Mourinho is believed to have punched a supporter close to the Inter team bus. Police have contacted Manchester United to request CCTV footage of the area, and a police spokesperson was quoted by Sky Sports as saying, "Shortly before midnight last night a man reported that he had been punched in the face outside Old Trafford.

"We are investigating an allegation of common assault," the statement concluded.

There is yet to be an official comment from either Internazionale, or Manchester United.

United though are believed to be aware of the incident.

If the charismatic Portuguese manager is questioned by British police, it will not be the first time. While boss of Chelsea, in 2007, Mourinho was said to have been arrested and cautioned after refusing to allow police to put his pet dog - Gullit - into quarantine.
