Pedro has defended Chelsea manager Antonio Conte after criticism from Jose Mourinho following Chelsea's 4-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday.

The Portuguese was believed to have told off his Blues counterpart, saying that his pitch-side gestures were over-emphatic and lacking class in the landslide result at Stamford Bridge.

However, Pedro insists Conte never meant any harm or insult towards United, and was simply focused on saluting the fans.

"Mourinho's reaction was out of context. Conte was not making humiliating gestures or jeering," Pedro told Cadena Ser.
