I personally think he would have a squad tailor made for him at united and his history speaks for itself at managing big clubs to success (which spurs are not), plus he would not have to be signed to some crazy 5 year contract, 2 would have been sufficient.
The chase for 4th place (not top 4)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Whoever has the best manager will make top 4, that will be Conte.
That’s some terrible support lad.
Lads, don't do this to yourselves. Man Utd won't get top 4. This lot is done. There is no fight and hunger in them.
Too many games they were only playing for 45 mins and feck around for the other 45 mins.
Even against Leicester you can see that their players want it more even though they got nothing to play for. They chased every loose balls and keep pressing us when they lost possession. They were running more than us even though we are the one that fighting for Top 4.

I wouldnt say Arsenal are doing a bottle job. We've won 5 out the last 6 before last night, only defeat was against Liverpool. I think its just the level of where the teams are right now.
If Arsenal can't win every game means bottle job then so be it. Arsenal will lose point in the remaining games, just like every other club other than City and Pool.
Kind of strange. That’s a first. New mgr. Possible big signings with the promise of CL football along with a clear out of players that won’t matter and you dont want to make the competition?
It`s unbelievable , we have been dogshit all season yet 8 games to go are still so close to top 4. We aren`t getting it cos as you said the players have given up , my money is on Spurs from here cos Conte will push them over the line .
I am not sure what limitation of Conte you speak of ?
Spurs when he came in, were 20th in league for running stat & 19th in league for creativity.
Now, Spurs running stat (post-Conte) is in top3 of the league and we are scoring at will this 2022 calendar. Spurs have scored most goals in 2022 even including Liverpool or City. Player for player has been improved - whether its Doherty or Davies or Dier.
Conte has been brilliant - yes, Spurs were inconsistent in between - its just that team took time to get used to him & viceversa.
This calendar, post Jan Window Spurs have been good - Only Ronaldo show cost a game. Otherwise, last 6 PL games 5 Wins with 21 goals scored & 5 conceded.
For any other United squad of the past decade, a top 4 spot, in current circumstances will be a realistic possibility with 8 games to go given the rather fortuitous position we find ourselves in. Thanks to Arsenal dropping points.
But with this bunch, it will be an impossible gap to bridge. What a shame.
Spurs would be delight.

Mathematically we (Utd) can still win the league, we just need to win all our remaining games and hope those above us lose all of theirs 
I said Spurs would finish 4th when Conte came and I still expect that to happen. If we don’t fluke top 4 then I hope we finish outside the Euro Conf League.

Downtools don't deserve support. The sooner they're kicked out of the back door the better.
I'd rather support the academy kids if they're played in the first team instead of these snakes.
I don't want big signings. Big star players have more often than not failed to deliver with us. Instead we should be signing players who are transitioning into big players or are on the ascendancy.
The player culture is rotten at the club and has been for quite a time now.
On merits we don't deserve cl and it is only fair we dont get it.
What's this moral high ground holier than thou crap? Who cares about fair? It's better for the club if we're in the CL next year.
I suppose you don't celebrate OGs, dodgy pens or smash and grab wins either because we didn't deserve it on balance of play or something?
I didn’t understand why this thread was on so I came here and I checked the table. I can’t believe we are so close to top 4 still.
Too bad the players don’t care.

Partey out long term is a killer for Arsenal. He is probably our most important and least replaceable player and that injury is on top of both fullbacks being out.
Barring their own set of catastrophic injuries, I think Spurs will cruise to 4th now.

More like looking at it without wearing the Man Utd tinted spectacles.
Even with Arsenal losing right now to Brighton, it doesn’t make any difference whatsoever as these players do not have the the passion for the badge to try and salvage something from this season. Todays result against a struggling Everton team comes as no surprise. We’ve been seeing these sort of performances more often than not this season. It’s been evident throughout and these players don’t deserve top 4. Again, I’d love to be proven wrong but I simply cannot trust these imposters.
This season couldn’t end any quicker.
Very poor today, hardly troubled Pickford, really feel let down with this lot.
Will be watching the remaining games for the shirt not bothered with any players.
That VAR in Arsenal vs Brighton. How crucial would it be
Top 4 . You must be having a laugh. Just shut the thread down.
Battle for 4th turns into who will bottle more. Even in this mess we could have easily catch 4th. Ffs.
Fun fact; winning against Leicester and Everton would put us on 4th spot. What a season

If Arsenal lose points, watch Gerrard beating Spurs
Conte and Spurs will get it
These idiots completely blew it
Acting like its pre season whilst Arsenal are throwing points away every week.

Defeat today hurts even more now.
Congrats Toffee's fans on a deserved win, we truly are the gift that keeps on giving at the moment. An embarrassment and a shambles.
Right now the aim for us has to be 8th, avoiding any European involvement at all next season. The effort that the players are putting in should make that easy.

You really couldnt write this shit up. Arsenal getting beat at home to Brighton
Ive just seen the Arsenal score. Seems no one wants top four.
Spurs are getting it. It seems like having a good manager works.
Nah, having two top class attackers coming into form at the right time works
Surely by now people realise that a top 4 race is all about shit teams dropping stupid points on a consistent basis.
I know, you don't have to be good to get 4th. Just less shit than the others.
As shit as we are atleast I was bang on about Arsenal. Whilst caf was collectively busy declaring Arsenal running away with the 4th spot, I made this prediction. Vastly superior football knowledge than any other on this forum. Arsenal fans here made fun of it. Time for payback
Mods do I get a reward for it ? Like promoting me to the mains
.Spurs in the driving seat.
It’s still honestly unreal that United passed on Conte, one of the 5 best managers in the world.
Scared he'd expose the incompetence and be too confrontational for their huge egos to handle.
Good rather them than Arsenal
Put a fork in us, we are done.
This is Spurs’ to lose now. We are fighting not be 7th.
No you’re not. No one is really stepping up except spurs. Still in it. It’s between you and spurs.
7th/8th, is nothing more than these players deserve.
They have been atrocious all season and should be ashamed to even accept the wages they are on!
