Not many clubs are brave enough to turn down Antonio Conte. But just four months after deciding not to hire him as their new manager, Manchester United face the Italian tactician and his Tottenham team at Old Trafford.
Man United had sounded out the possibility to bringing in Conte to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after the Norwegian’s three-year reign came to an end in November.
A manager with Conte’s impressive CV was hard to come by, but the 53-year-old was out of work after leaving Inter Milan at the end of last season due to a disagreement over player sales.
