Frosty affair: Mourinho and Wenger at Wembley
Frosty affair: Mourinho and Wenger at Wembley
Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger ‘ s bad blood continues. Twice at Wembley, Wenger avoided shaking Mourinho’s hand.

The first time was after the final whistle: the cameras showed Wenger walking straight to the Wembley tunnel, avoiding the traditional handshaking, from a man, who derives pleasure in taunting Wenger for failure to find the formula to beat his team, 13 matches in a row.

The second time, Mourinho planted himself at the steps of the state box where the Arsenal players had gone to receive their trophy.
As the players filed out of the trophy presentation area, the Portuguese man shook hands with each player. But Wenger tactically avoided Mourinho, passing behind him.

The question is when these two adults will grow up.
