Arsenal’s Wenger unseats Manchester United’s Mourinho in ‘raging battle’
At a coaching conference in Switzerland, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho were both in attendance.
Spanish newspaper Marca recalls the following exchange as Sir Alex Ferguson is scheduled to speak.
Mourinho: Can I sit next here?
Wenger: “No, it is not possible.”
And how does the Press reports on that?
Daily Express: “Arsene Wenger owns Jose Mourinho in latest bust-up at coaches conference – ARSENE WENGER and Jose Mourinho have reportedly clashed yet again.”
Mourinho reportedly wanted to sit next to Paris Saint-Germain’s Unai Emery and Real Madrid’s Zinedine Zidane for Sir Alex Ferguson’s opening speech, with Wenger close by.
Metro: “Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger told Jose Mourinho he can’t sit next to him at coaches conference”
Daily Mail: “Arsene Wenger’s feud with Jose Mourinho rages on as ‘Arsenal boss refuses to let Manchester United manager sit next to him at conference”
And in Marca, the root of a story that sounds like it began as a joke: “Wenger wins latest battle against Mourinho”
Next week: It’s WAR as Jose serves Arsene green jelly at his party.
