Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho 'ready to make peace with Antonio Conte'

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly ready to end his long-running feud with Chelsea boss Antonio Conte.

According to The Mirror, the Portuguese coach is willing to forget his recent war of words with the Italian and bury the hatchet with his rival when the pair come face-to-face at Old Trafford this Sunday.

The report suggests that Mourinho will engage in the traditional pre-match handshake with the Blues manager when United take on Chelsea in the Premier League.

The war of words began when the Red Devils boss told reporters that he does not "behave as a clown on the touchline", remarks the Italian took as a reference to his dugout antics.

Conte responded by asking Mourinho if he was suffering from "senile dementia", to which the Portuguese hit back with a reference to the match-fixing scandal Conte was embroiled in before being cleared.

The exchange eventually ceased, but not before Conte branded Mourinho a "little man" for his part in it.
