The Italian giants beat Sunderland 2-0 in a friendly encounter ahead of the coming campaign on Wednesday, a game that was not short of controversy.
According to SportsJOE, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United boss hurried his way on to the field to remonstrate with the match official after a challenge on one of his players.
Black Cats midfielder Luke O'Nien seemed to catch Roma defender Roger Ibanez with an elbow in their match in Portugal, after which Mourinho entered the field to check on his player and complain to the referee.
O'Nien, it is claimed, had been booked just before the incident, which might have intensified Mourinho's feeling that serious action needed to be taken.
