Jose Mourinho, Arsene Wenger Comment on Lack of Post-Match Handshake

Jose Mourinho suggested Arsene Wenger deliberately avoided shaking his hand after Arsenal beat Chelsea 1-0 to win the FA Community Shield. As manager of the losing team, Mourinho stood waiting for every Arsenal player after they had collected the trophy. But though he claims he waited for it, Wenger never came his way, per Goal.com's Liam Twomey:

[At the final whistle] I was doing what the status of my club and my status as a manager what I have to do: wait for the winners in a way where you only miss me when you want to miss me, and every Arsenal player came in my direction which was the easiest thing to do because I was right there.
