Hughes and Mourinho failed to shake hands on the touchline at the end of Stoke's 2-2 draw with United in Saturday's late kick off.
The frosty greeting from both managers was picked up by TV cameras and the Red Devils boss gave a BBC interviewer short shrift as he walked out on a post-match chat.
As SunSport reported yesterday, Mourinho was allegedly told to "f*** off" by Hughes and the Welshman wanted his opposite manager sent to the stands for encroaching on his technical area.
And according to the Telegraph, Hughes made a second attempt to reconcile outside the visiting dressing room, but it appears the fiery former Porto, Chelsea, Inter and Real Madrid boss was having none of it.
The pair were pictured embracing before the game but the events of the 90 minutes meant they would not again.
Hughes has fallen out with other managers in the past, including Tony Pulis, Roberto Mancini and Arsene Wenger.

The former Manchester City and Wales gaffer also had an off-colour relationship with his former boss Sir Alex Ferguson during his time at the Etihad.
Hughes could also face a fine for his push on Mourinho if the FA investigate the issue.

Former Schalke forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting did the damage as his two goals nodded Stoke back into the game, taking advantage of an untimely slip by United defender Phil Jones.

The fall-out over Mourinho's BBC interview exit also threatens to overshadow the weekend for United before they welcome FC Basel to Old Trafford in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Mourinho was asked: "Do you think it'd be nice at the end of a game like that if everyone shook hands, Mark Hughes a little disappointed there wasn't a handshake?"
He responded: "You know... I want to be polite with you and I prefer not to answer the question, because your question is really a bad question
"It makes it look like it's my fault, my problem, and your question is not correct, I'm sorry."
