Mourinho again fails to meet Man United's expectation

Antonio Conte left Wembley with another piece of silverware and the love of the Chelsea faithful ringing in his ears on Saturday, the self-proclaimed “serial winner” who wore the look of a man who knows he is about to move on.

For Jose Mourinho, there was the rare taste of a cup final defeat, yet more narcissistic self-justification and deflection at a post-match press conference that underlined just why the Portuguese manager has struggled to endear himself to the bulk of Manchester United supporters.

It was that kind of day, in that kind of season, for two of the giants of the English game.
