Antonio Conte refuses to look 'meek' next to Jose Mourinho,

The managers clashed after Manchester United's 4-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge in October when Mourinho was upset by Conte's euphoric reaction to the fourth goal.

Mourinho, back at Chelsea for the first time since being ousted from the Bridge, claimed it was an 

attempt at 'humiliating' his team

Conte was particularly frustrated by United's treatment of Eden Hazard, saying in his post-match press conference it was "impossible" for his player to play football for 20-25 minutes of the game because he was repeatedly kicked, and Walker believes Mourinho has no excuse to argue with Conte's claims.

"What Conte was saying was just an echo of what Jose Mourinho was saying a couple of years ago, that he feared for the future of Eden Hazard because, when he was the Chelsea manager, everyone was targeting Hazard," said Walker.

"I think if United had taken their chances last night it could have been a different story. But it's not the only way to beat Chelsea, to kick their best players. I think Man United showed last night that they're capable of a really good, sound defensive display and they hit them on the break with [Marcus] Rashford."

Mourinho, who won the FA Cup during his first spell in charge of Chelsea, was subjected to jeers from the Stamford Bridge crowd on Monday night, but maintained his collection of trophies at the club means "Judas is number one".
