Swansea boss Monk insists no Mourinho feud

Swansea City boss Garry Monk insists there's no feud with Chelsea counterpart Jose Mourinho.

During the 1-0 defeat, Chico Flores was sent off after a long delay from referee Phil Dowd, in that time the Chelsea players and coaching staff surrounded officials provoking a furious response from Monk.

The Chelsea boss didn't offer his hand after the game, but Monk insists there's no bad blood.

"I'm probably not the only person who he hasn't shaken hands with," Monk told Wales Online.

"It's not a big deal for myself.

"I respect him highly, he's a top manager, he's a well respected person in football.

"Win, lose or draw I'll always offer my hand."
