Chelsea manager Antonio Conte reacts to Man United 4-0 defeat to Chelsea

Man United manager Mourinho appeared annoyed by Conte's touchline antics, but Chelsea boss felt he did nothing wrong by encouraging Blue fans to cheer the players.

After the final whistle, Mourinho whispered in the ear of Chelsea manager Antonio Conte.

Conte had urged home fans to make more noise after Kante made it 4-0 in the 70th minute.

But Mourinho refused to reveal what he had told the Italian, saying: "My words were with Antonio Conte were for him, not for you."

Conte was equally guarded, telling the BBC: "When there is a private conversation it is right to remain private, I have great respect for Jose, he is a great manager and he won a lot here."

As for the match itself Conte, in a separate interview with Sky Sports, said: "I am pleased with the performance, we started well, moved the ball quickly, created chances to score the goal. I see the commitment of the players in training every day and they deserve this."

"We are improving; we must continue to work, because only through the work we can improve. We know that we have a long way to go, but I'm satisfied.

"It is very important after the Arsenal and Liverpool defeats, it was important to understand our mission. We must look to Wednesday against West Ham [in the EFL Cup] and prepare for that."
