Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has been accused of tax fraud by Spanish prosecutors investigating his time as Real Madrid's head coach.

Portuguese-born Mourinho is accused of defrauding Spain of €3.3m (£2.9m; $3.6m) in taxes between 2011 and 2012. He has yet to comment on the claim.

A prosecutor said he did not declare income from the use of his image rights in order to get an "illicit benefit".
Other big names in football have been accused of tax fraud in Spain recently.

Those include Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been summoned to testify on 31 July in a case in which he is accused of hiding income from tax authorities. He denies the allegations.

Looks like the Spanish government is going after everyone is Real Madrid and Barcelona. But hey, if they avoided taxes its the correct thing to do.

Paris Saint-Germain winger Ángel Di María has been handed a one-year prison sentence after admitting to defrauding the Spanish government of £1.14 million during his time at Real Madrid.

The 29-year-old made a deal with the Spanish Supreme Court to avoid a trial and will pay a fine of £1.76 million.

However, the Argentina international is unlikely to spend any time behind bars as sentences of under two years are usually suspended providing the convicted has no prior criminal history.
