The official laughed it off as he pretended to book the player for the offence before getting the game back underway. Clattenburg recently revealed that Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho played a significant role in his decision to step away from officiating in the Premier League. Speaking on the Men in Blazers podcast, Clattenburg explained how a bollocking from Mourinho after a game at the Britannia Stadium persuaded him to leave England behind. "I was refereeing the game when Wayne Rooney broke Bobby Charlton's record and Mourinho came into my dressing room and he was unhappy about a handball penalty that I didn't give," Clattenburg said. "I'd walked off that pitch at Stoke, which was always the coldest stadium, it was always wet and miserable, and refereeing Man United was never an easy match. https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_UK/status/937640131997118464 "To come off that match it felt immense that I'd actually had a good performance, and for him to come into my dressing room and criticise my performance for a handball that I'd seen, that had clearly come off his chest, I knew that I was right but he'd put a seed of doubt into my mind. "I drove home 250 miles thinking I'd made a big error, my wife knew my attitude had changed, and I thought to myself, 'Do I really want to be a part of this anymore? Do I really want to referee?' "And I went soul-searching, I wasn't enjoying it as much as I used to and I had to get out."Mark Clattenburg getting hit in the face with a water bottle in #SaudiArabia.
