Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho received a one-match touchline ban after he "endangered people around him", an independent commission ruled, reports Sky Sports.

Mourinho admitted his conduct was improper when he kicked a bottle of water during the first half of Manchester United's game against West Ham in the Premier League at Old Trafford, on November 27.

The three-man commission, chaired by Stuart Ripley, ruled Mourinho had "aggressively kicked the bottle in a manner that could have endangered people around him regardless of the motivation to do so".

But panel members, who reviewed footage, unanimously agreed the incident was at the "lower end" of improper conduct.

The panel's written reasons, published by the Football Association, have revealed that Mourinho is "striving to improve his disciplinary record" and that he issued a "sincere apology for his actions".

After reviewing Mourinho's previous disciplinary record over the past five years, he was handed a one-match touchline ban and £16,000 fine.
