Antonio Conte refuses to discuss touchline conversation with Jose Mourinho

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has refused to shed light on his touchline conversation with Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho at the end of Sunday's Premier League meeting at Stamford Bridge.

Following the hosts' 4-0 win over the Red Devils, the Italian was seen stoking Blues supporters in the closing stages, prompting an exchange between the two managers at the full-time whistle.

Conte told Sky Sports News after the game: "Private conversations must remain private. If someone discovers something, okay, but for me the conversation shall remain private.

"I called the fans to clap the players after this type of performance because the players after a 4-0 deserve it. It's normal.

"I don't regret my actions, we live on emotion. If we want to cut the emotion I should stay at home and change my job."

The result sees Chelsea climb to fourth in the Premier League table.
