Sports News Secret: Mourinho, Conte keep mum over touchline spat
OCT 24, 2016 LISTEN

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho and Chelsea counterpart Antonio Conte refused to divulge the content of a terse touchline exchange between them after the London club's 4-0 win.

Prior to walking down the tunnel following Sunday's game, stony-faced former Chelsea manager Mourinho cupped Conte's head and spent a good while whispering in the Italian's left ear.

Pitch-side microphones suggested Mourinho had accused Conte, in Italian, of trying to "humiliate" his side by urging the home fans to make more noise, but the United manager refused to go into detail.

"You know me. I spoke to Conte, not to you," Mourinho told his post-match press conference.

"I'm not the kind of guy to come here and share with you things I don't want to share.

"What is between me and Antonio is for us, or up to him to talk if he wants to. That is his problem. I have no comment."
