Manchester, England ¨C Manchester United¡¯s trip to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday was billed as the last-chance saloon for United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but it ended up being opposite number Nuno Espirito Santo who was kicked out of the swinging doors on Monday.
Antonio Conte ¡ª the former Juventus and Chelsea manager, who was, according to some media reports, about to take over from Solskjaer at United ¡ª is now the favorite to be the new Spurs boss.
Solskjaer, who in the days building up to the game had been dismissed as incapable of setting a team up, motivating a side and having the tactical skills required, radically altered his team¡¯s formation and approach and delivered a narrative-busting 3-0 win in North London.
