Jose Mourinho has said he feels “contempt” for Chelsea manager Antonio Conte as their toxic public row continues to escalate.

The Manchester United manager has traded insults with his Chelsea counterpart over the past two weeks, with their dispute becoming increasingly bitter.

“I think when a person insults another you can expect a response. Or you can expect contempt,” Mourinho told a press conference.

“The first time he insulted me I had a response, a response that I know that touched the point where he really feels hurt.

“Then he insulted me for a second time but now I change and now [I have] contempt. And for me contempt means the end of the story.”
