Antonio Conte says he was told to pump up the touchline volume by his dad after Chelsea's Watford debacle

Antonio Conte has promised as explosive a performance on the touchline of Old Trafford as ever after revealing he received a telling-off from his father.

After Chelsea lost 4-1 to Watford in the Premier League at the start of February, Conte was reprimanded by his dad Cosimino for showing no rage or passion at Vicarage Road.

The Italian has gained a reputation in England for his energetic behaviour and brought back the anger for their Champions League clash with Barcelona on Tuesday.

With Chelsea travelling to Manchester United on Sunday, where Conte will share a touchline with Jose Mourinho, the 48-year-old has no intention of toning it down.
