Lord Sugar has said on Twitter that he is pleased that Tottenham Hotspur hired Antonio Conte before Manchester United and Arsenal could.

Manchester United sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Manchester United have sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their manager.

The Red Devils are now on the hunt for a new manager.

Antonio Conte at Tottenham Hotspur

Conte was appointed as the new Spurs head coach earlier this month.

The former Chelsea boss was brought in at Tottenham by club chairman Daniel Levy after the sacking of Nuno.

It was a big decision from Levy and Tottenham managing director of football Fabio Paratici.

Lord Sugar’s verdict

Former Spurs chairman Lord Sugar is pleased that Tottenham could get Conte before United.

Lord Sugar has also taken a cheeky dig at Arsenal, suggesting that the Gunners could sack Mikel Arteta next week.

The Gunners were hammered 4-0 by Liverpool on Saturday and will face Newcastle United this coming weekend.

Mikel Arteta is safe

Arteta is doing a wonderful job at Arsenal.

Yes, the Gunners lost 4-0 at Anfield, but we know just how good Liverpool are.

In our view, Arteta is under no danger of losing his job.

Of course, managers are judged on results, but the Arsenal chiefs know that they have a very young team who need time to grow.
