Why this former Chelsea manager is a wrong choice for Man Utd

Former Manchester United star Peter Schmeichel, in a recent statement, has stressed that former Chelsea coach, Antonio Conte, is a wrong choice to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Old Trafford.

According to Schmeichel, bringing in Conte would be another attempt at a quick fix by Man Utd as he urged the club hierarchy to keep Solskjaer instead.

Man Utd Solskjaer is under intense pressure at Old Trafford following his side poor performance in the recent week, especially during the embarrassing defeat to Leicester City last weekend.

While the Red Devils managed to defeat Atalanta during the midweek game in the UCL, Solskjaer could come under more pressure if his side fails to perform against Liverpool on Sunday.

Many United fans, on the other hand, have been calling for the replacement of Solskjaer, with Conte being one of the fans favourites.

However, Schmeichel in a statement with The Times, said although Conte is brilliant, the Italian doesn’t stay anywhere for more than a couple of years.

“Louis van Gaal didn’t win the Premier League, Mourinho didn’t. You say Conte or another name, it is no different. It’s about them and what they want to do in a small window of Manchester United’s big history.

“The problem Ole has is that in this world of quick fixes and fast news, he has to win yesterday. It has to be delivered now. But it’s not the real world. We stopped that development for a period, and our competitors closed the gap then ran away.”

He stated that for Man Utd to get it right for a long time, then they need to build and take time.
