Love him or hate him, Jose Mourinho is a manager who certainly captures attention.

The Manchester United coach has a glittering CV given that he has won titles at Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid.

Mourinho is yet to achieve such a triumph at Old Trafford, but he still has a season left on his contract to do so.

As well as his success on the pitch, the 54-year-old is known for how he handles himself, particularly in front of the media.

The ex-Chelsea boss has often rubbed people up the wrong way and has numerous times got into a public war of words with his peers.

The most recent of spats involves himself and current Blues manager Antonio Conte.

The pair have traded insults back and forth while addressing the media in press conferences.

BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks thinks that Mourinho's attitude is an attempt to deflect from the fact that his team have failed to challenge Manchester City in the title race.

The red half of the city are currently 12 points adrift of Pep Guardiola's side, who lost for the first time in the league this season in a 4-3 defeat to Liverpool last Sunday.

Crooks has not only lambasted Mourinho for his conduct, he has gone so far as to say that the United boss "gives nothing back" to the game.

In his Team of the Week column for BBC Sport, the pundit wrote:

"[Mourinho] has been irritatingly astute at taking the attention away from the fact that his team have failed to lay a glove on Manchester City and he is using Conte as the diversion. Every time Conte bites back it diminishes the former Itay international who, having played the game at the highest level, respects its customs and traditions. Mourinho on the other hand shows no respect to either of those conventions because he is a mere beneficiary of the game and gives nothing back in return."
