Amid Manchester United's struggles, many fans called for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's dismissal from the club and sought the best available manager in the market at that time.

However, Tottenham Hotspur sacked Nuno Espirito Santo after a horrendous start and appointed Antonio Conte, the manager rumored to join United. This turn of events sparked hilarious reactions from the Manchester United faithful.

Some United fans went straight to Twitter, airing out their dramatic but funny reactions, mentioning that their season is finished after missing out on Conte.

Antonio Conte's reputation as a manager is impeccable. He won three straight Serie A titles after taking charge of Juventus in 2011 and led an underdog Inter Milan squad to win its 18th league title last season.

Solskjaer's spell with Manchester United has been a roller-coaster ride; his team finished second in the Premier League last year but has had an abysmal start this season. Many thought that the club's devastating 5-0 loss to Liverpool was Solskjaer's last straw, cementing his unworthiness of managing a massive club with huge expectations.

Rumors swirled for days regarding Conte's potential arrival at United. However, executives from Manchester United have decided to hold Solskjaer's position, especially after making a brilliant tactical change to start Cristiano Ronaldo alongside Edinson Cavani upfront, leading to a convincing 3-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

The Spurs have also had an ugly start this season, but they proved to be decisive enough to hire Conte swiftly. The question is, will Manchester United's decision to hold on with Solskjaer pay off? Or will it haunt them in the end?
