Jose Mourinho was handed a Conte jersey to be signed: What was the United manager’s response?

It seems like the Mourinho vs Conte duel has taken quite an unexpected turn.

After all the verbal battles between the two managers, the Manchester United manager was given a Manchester United shirt with Antonio Conte’s name on the back. How did the Portuguese react?

Ok firstly let us tell you that this was all a prank that was performed on Mourinho by an Italian TV crew.

As the United manager was leaving Lowry Hotel earlier today he gave an interview to reporters Alessandro Onnis and Stefano Corti from the “Le Iene” show.

And that is when the reporter duo pulled out a Manchester United shirt and asked the Red Devils boss to sign it. But there was only one problem, it had the Chelsea manager – Antonio Conte’s name on the back.

But luckily Mourinho took the prank in good humour and even shared a joke with the Italian reporters.
