Man Utd boss Mourinho storms out of interview: Stupid things for stupid people

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho lost his rag with reporters after being asked about his handshake snub for Stoke City rival Mark Hughes.

After a touchline row during the 2-2 draw, Mourinho snubbed Hughes when he tried to shake his hand at the final whistle.

"I prefer not to answer question about handshakes - it's a bad question," he told BBC commentator Steve Wilson. "It makes it look like it's my fault but that's not right." Mourinho then walked out of the interview.

In a separate interview with BT Sport, Mourinho added: "I don't speak about stupid things, I am too old for that. Stupid things are for stupid people."
