Conte Is An Ideal Option For Man United, Says Ex Crystal Palace Chairman

Conte Is An Ideal Option For Man United, Says Ex Crystal Palace Chairman

Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan believes Antonio Conte would be a perfect fit for Manchester United in case they decide to sack head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Jordan says Conte may be a ‘difficult bugger’, a person who ‘upsets everybody’ and ‘drives owners mad’ but insists he is what Manchester United need.

Conte officially left his post as Inter Milan manager on Wednesday, hours before Manchester United were beaten in the Europa League final at the hands of Unai Emery’s Villarreal.

The English club are yet to win a trophy since 2017 after winning the Europa League at the expense of Ajax.

Conte has since won two trophies in that period by beating Manchester United to the FA Cup in 2018, and ending Juventus dominance in Serie A to bring home Inter Milan’s first Serie A title in ten years.

Jordan believes Manchester should secure the services of the former Chelsea manager to help them win titles.

“Antonio Conte is a difficult bugger but one of the few clubs that can harness his ambitions economically are Man United,” Jordan told talkSPORT.

“You want to win something in the here and now and to change the direction of the club, someone like Antonio Conte coming to Manchester United would probably be the fix that fixes all problems.

“He goes to places and wins things and he upsets everybody, he drives the ownership mad but I bet there’s a bunch of Manchester United fans who’d say ‘we’d welcome that because our owners are a bunch of disingenuous slobs’.

“If you want to win something in the here and now, he’s just come off the back of winning Serie A. Everywhere he goes he wins something of significance.

“But he does leave a trail of carnage. He left Inter Milan because they want to cut the cloth, reduce the wages because everyone’s bleeding out of their eyes financially and sell players. He doesn’t fancy it…

“Man United can afford this. They can afford someone who’s a little bit difficult about what he does and doesn’t want because Man United have got such a gap to bridge between themselves and Manchester City.
