Jose Mourinho says Antonio Conte disappeared at full-time

Jose Mourinho said Antonio Conte disappeared as he waited to shake his hand following Man Utd's 1-0 defeat by Chelsea on Super Sunday.

The pair avoided another incident to last year's fixture at Stamford Bridge - when both clashed at full-time following Chelsea's 4-0 win - but Mourinho says that's because the Italian "disappeared".

Conte celebrated with his staff and then players as Mourinho waited, and instead, the former Chelsea boss shook hands with other members of Chelsea's staff.

Asked if he eventually got to shake Conte's hand, Mourinho said "No. He disappeared. So I shook to his assistants, which for me is basically the same."

Conte said of the incident: "It's not important. It's important to win the game. You have to have respect on the pitch.

"At the end of the match I went to shake the hands of the officials and then my players. If I shake someone's hand twice I think it's enough."

It was another unhappy ending for Mourinho on his return to Stamford Bridge as Alvaro Morata's 55th-minute header sealed a 1-0 win for Chelsea over Manchester United, who fell eight points behind league leaders Manchester City.
