Jose taunted the Bianconeri fans after beating them in Turin, but this move did not sit well with the Argentine.

Juventus is gearing up for a crucial league game this weekend, but the issue of their Champions League defeat remains a hot topic. The Old Lady hosted Man United in Europe but fell to a shock loss, seeing their unbeaten record come to an end.

The most talked about issue, though, was Jose Mourinho's reaction at full-time to beating the Italians. The Special One, who had been subject to abuse from the Bianconeri fans at Old Trafford, was quick to taunt the home fans in Turin upon the final whistle, a move which did not sit well with Allegri's men.

Some of the Juventus players confronted Jose over his behaviour, one being Bonucci and the other being Paulo Dybala. The Argentine attacker has now revealed what he told the Portuguese boss on that night.

The South American sensation squashed any speculation of a heated exchange of words between himself and Mourinho. As stated by the attacker, he merely condemned Mourinho's actions directly to the Red Devils boss.

"I just told him that there was no need to make that gesture," Dybala told Sky Sport Italia.

"There was no need to create more tension than there already was, sometimes you get insulted and it's bad, but to create more tension than there already is…

"I told him there was no need, I didn't insult him. I just told him that and left."

Dybala also touched upon the selection headache Allegri faces in attack this season. Having signed Cristiano Ronaldo over the summer, many wondered how the Juventus boss would fit his goalscorers in one lineup.

It has been suggested that the Argentine and the five-time Ballon d'Or winner would not gel together, sparking rumors of an exit for the former Palermo starlet. However, the 24-year-old argued otherwise, pointing to how the two combined for the winning goal against Man United at Old Trafford as proof. Nonetheless, he did admit that playing time is more difficult to come by now that the 33-year-old is around.

"I think the coach definitely finds it difficult to put all of us in because we're playing really well and there's a really good level in attack. I don't think it's easy for him," Dybala added.

Next up for the Serie A champion is a trip to AC Milan. Straight after their first loss of the season, the Bianconeri will face a tricky test at the San Siro hoping that it won't be back-to-back defeats for the Scudetto holder.
