They always said there were two sides to Jose Mourinho at Manchester United. After the charming Jose took centre-stage before this game, it was the chippy Jose who created the headlines again as he ended up in the stands here at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium.
What did he say to the fourth official Jeremy Stinat after Fenerbahce were rightly denied a penalty for Manuel Ugarte’s contact with Bright Osayi-Samuel in the second half? Or was it just because he strayed out of his technical area?
We might never know, but it was enough for French referee Clement Turpin to show him a straight red card.
So off he went, brooding, muttering in the seats, furiously scribbling down instructions for his assistants to follow. No more Mr Nice Guy.
While Mourinho continued his one-man show, a Europa League tie was going on and it ended in another draw for Manchester United who had previously failed to beat FC Twente and Porto despite leading.

Christian Eriksen continued his renaissance this season by firing United in front, but Youssef En-Nesyri came back to haunt Ten Hag’s side with another goal against them.
Mourinho had blagged and bluffed on the eve of this game, making United favourites to win the competition, but this is not the same team that he led to Europa League glory in 2017.
They came into this game 25th in the 36-team table and have now won just once in their last 11 European games – even that required a last-minute penalty save from Andre Onana to see off FC Copenhagen.
The lead lasted less than five minutes of the second half, however, as they once again proved incapable of holding onto advantage.
Allan Saint-Maximin switched onto his stronger right foot and the former Newcastle winger curled an outswinger into the path of En-Nesyri who had had drifted in between Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez. This time Onana had no chance as he was beaten by a downward header from close-range.
Ten Hag sent on Hojlund for a Zirkzee, who once again proved to be a pretty toothless target man. His last act was to steer a simple pass to Rashford out of play.
Casemiro also came on for Lindelof and his brilliant pass released Diogo Dalot moments later but Rashford miscued in front of goal.
Then it became the Jose Mourinho show again, and everything else was largely forgotten.
