Head coach Stoke City Mark Hughes wants to forget the episode with a failed handshake with Jose Mourinho and believes that the press service of the "Red Devils" overdid with coverage of the event.

After a draw Manchester United and Stoke City Jose Mourinho did not shake hands with Mark Hughes. It is supposed that this happened because of the insults of the Portuguese by the Welshman.

Before the match Stoke v. Newcastle, the journalists did not fail to remind Hughes about this episode.

"Handshakes do not concern business. It is necessary to forget about this episode. Perhaps, the media service of the MJ rendered a disservice to Mourinho after the match. She joined at full capacity, but to be honest, Jose did not help, "- said Hughes.

"Do not comment anymore.". Too much hype was raised after that game by media outlet Manchester United. Perhaps they wanted to defend the position of Jose. But I think this did not help him ".

"Yes, I had emotions. In Jose, they were. The cameras keep an eye on us. We are part of the show, are not they? What was, it was. It does not go beyond boundaries, so all the talk about the handshake - neither to the village nor to the city. Let's move on, otherwise it was inflated from the fly of an elephant ".

The match Newcastle - Stoke City will start on September 16 at 17:00 Kyiv time. After 4 rounds Stoke with 5 points takes 12th place.
