Gary Lineker has taken to Twitter to react after Manchester United suffered a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in the derby at Old Trafford.
What’s the story?
Well, Tottenham fans will love how Lineker reacted to Manchester United’s defeat.
The BBC Match of the Day host quipped that the Red Devils could always replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with Antonio Conte, before saying ‘oh wait’ in what was perhaps a dig at Manchester United’s lack of urgency.
You can see Lineker’s tweet in full below.
Tottenham fans will have enjoyed reading that, and they will be overjoyed that their side no longer have similar managerial issues.
Daniel Levy acted swiftly after Solskjaer’s side hammered Tottenham 3-0 last weekend, sacking Nuno Espirito Santo to bring Conte to N17.
Manchester United defeat may be huge moment in Tottenham history
It was a game described as ‘El Sackico’ last weekend, and Tottenham ended up on the winning side, despite losing the match.
In the grand scheme of things, every Spurs fan would’ve taken a defeat if they had been told it would mean Conte arrived.
Now, after today’s embarrassing loss in the Manchester derby, you can be sure the Old Trafford faithful will be kicking themselves that Conte is now no longer an option.
In our view, that 3-0 defeat may be a huge moment in Tottenham’s history.
If Conte now goes on to bring silverware to Hotspur Way, fans will look at last weekend’s loss to Solskjaer as a blessing in disguise.
It was, without question, a huge moment in Tottenham’s season.
