But Blues coach Marco Ianni has been charged with improper conduct.

The incident occurred when Ianni celebrated Chelsea's 96th-minute equaliser in front of the United bench, sparking a retaliation from Mourinho.

But the FA said the Portuguese "has been formally reminded of his responsibilities".

An FA spokesperson added: "Both clubs have received similar official reminders in terms of the behaviour expected of their staff and players at all times whilst in the technical area."
