Dybala said: I just told him that there was no need to make that gesture.

There was no need to create more tension than there already was, sometimes you get insulted and its bad, but to create more tension than there already is.

I told him there was no need, I didnt insult him. I just told him that and left.

Paul Scholes says Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho needs to show some class after taunting Juventus players and fans on full time

The Old Trafford boss has come under scrutiny in recent weeks.

However, after the midweek victory in Europe and also a last minute winner against Bournemouth in their last league game - Mourinho has lifted his side.

After the win in Turin, Mourinho explained to Sky Sport Italia that he was insulted for 90 minutes by the home supporters, and apologised for his actions.

He said: I was insulted for 90 minutes. I came here to do my job, nothing more.

I didnt offend anyone at the end, I just made a gesture that I wanted to hear them louder.

I probably shouldnt have done it, and with a cool head I wouldnt have done it, but with my family insulted, including my Inter family, I reacted like this.

Mourinho formerly managed Inter Milan from 2008-2010 leading the San Siro side to two Serie As titles and one Champions League trophy.

The Special One faces a second FA hearing after he was adjudged to have used foul language in Portuguese when speaking to the TV camera after his side beat Newcastle 3-2 at home.

In a post-match interview after the Juventus win, Mourinho was asked about his celebration and the 55-year-old took the opportunity to take a swipe at the FA.

He said: "Do you understand Italian? Ask the FA and they will translate for you.
