It is said tried to shake hands with Mourinho again outside the United dressing room, but his attempt was rebuffed by the Portuguese boss. 

Hughes has been involved in fall outs with managers before, getting on the wrong side of Tony Pulis, Martin Jol, Roberto Mancini and Arsene Wenger. 

And there was no love lost in his post-match interview regarding United’s playing style, with Hughes accusing Mourinho of using ‘lazy’ jibes.

“That’s just an easy swipe at us,” said Hughes. 

“You could argue United played more long balls and why wouldn’t they, because they’ve got power and pace to burn?

“I don’t know what the stats are but I’d argue that in general play they played more long balls than we did because they’ve got that threat.

“It’s a bit lazy of people to keep on reverting to that ‘Stoke are a physical team’ thing.”
