At one point last year, Conte was very close to United's boss, but as Nuno led Spurs to a 3-0 loss to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Levy preemptively fired Nuno and signed Conte. Following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's ouster, United appointed Lonnick as interim manager and have announced Thatnger will be the new official manager. Currently in the Premier League table, Spurs are fourth with a goal difference advantage over Arsenal, and Manchester United are 6th after three points behind North London, and on Saturday Manchester United will come to face Arsenal away.
Asked a question about United in his pre-match press conference against Brentford, Conte replied: "Obviously, we're talking about Manchester United, a really big club. Don't forget that Manchester United were runners-up in the Premier League last season and have signed Varane, Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo this season, and the squad has become stronger. "Last summer, United spent 140 million to bring in these three strong reinforcements, and judging by the performance of the season, only 37-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo is worth the money.
"It's a strange situation, Manchester United has improved their squad but the results are worse than last season. This shows that the job is not easy at all, especially in the Premier League. In the Premier League, it's a daunting task for every coach, knowing that the league level is so high. Especially when you're at Manchester United, the pressure is super. As a head coach, you have to fight to win trophies. It's not easy because other teams have the same idea. Conte said.
After becoming Tottenham manager, Conte has called out to Levy no less than 10 times to buy a man to improve the squad, but so far, Levy has not shown strong support for Conte's actions. Speculation is also on the horizon that even after qualifying for the Champions League, Conte and Kane are still likely to leave Tottenham in the summer.
