Old friends and foes

The main rivalry in the last two season’s has been between to two managers, with Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte trading verbal blows in the glare of the media.

On the pitch, United have three former Blues among their ranks in Juan Mata, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic, with Conte admitting that he regrets letting the Serbian move to Old Trafford in the summer.
