War's over? Man Utd boss Mourinho: Conte handshake proves mutual respect

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho was happy to shake hands with Chelsea rival Antonio Conte before and after Sunday's win.

They embraced before and after Manchester United's win which saw them leapfrog Liverpool back into second place.

Mourinho said: “The handshake before and after the match I think is an example that everything in football you have to move and respect each other.

“Mourinho and Conte, they are not two ordinary people in football.

“We have a history, we have an image and I'm really happy with that.

“I think that is what me and Antonio want to show to everyone."

Conte also said: “I think that you wanted to see the handshakes and we did at least, stop. It's over."
