Gary Neville feels he's been vindicated in his long-standing that view that Manchester United shouldn't have appointed Antonio Conte, who was always going to "stink the place out."
Despite the Italian's keenness on the job before Tottenham snapped up his services in November 2021, the Red Devils hierarchy ultimately agreed with Neville and opted against bringing him in. Before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked that same month, fans and pundits had urged United to make a move for Conte, who's now parted ways with Spurs after 16 turbulent months in North London.
Neville continually railed against those suggestions, insisting time and again that Conte wasn't the right fit for his beloved Red Devils which often brought a wave of backlash onto him after United chose to appoint Ralf Rangnick as interim manager. Now that Spurs and the ex- Chelsea boss have gone their separate ways, Neville appears to have been proven right.
