Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has disagreed with fellow Sky Sports pundit Micah Richards that Antonio Conte would have been a good appointment for the Reds ahead of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's exit.
Ahead of United pulling the trigger on Solskjaer back in November, Conte, as revealed by the Manchester Evening News a month earlier, was open to the idea of replacing the Norwegian in the event of him being sacked. However, United were understood not to be completely sold on Conte's methods and style.
Solskjaer, of course, was sacked a month later following a 4-1 defeat to Watford at Vicarage Road and was replaced by Ralf Rangnick on a deal until the end of the season. United have struggled to make progress under his stewardship and questions, following Sunday's 4-1 defeat to Manchester City, have been raised about whether or not the club was right to go for a short-term solution when they did.
