Some outraged Manchester United supporters have taken aim at key figures in the club's boardroom after Antonio Conte was 'allowed' to join Tottenham.
The former Chelsea and Inter Milan coach has been unveiled by the Londoners this afternoon, replacing the sacked Nuno Espirito Santo.
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came under intense pressure on the back of a heavy and humiliating reverse to bitter rivals Liverpool last Sunday afternoon.
It was a result which might yet have drastic repercussions for his position at the Old Trafford helm, despite United getting back to winning ways against Tottenham — a 3-0 result which, in turn, forced their Premier League rivals to take action on Nuno.
Conte had been heavily linked with the managerial position at Old Trafford after leaving Inter this summer.
However, the Premier League giants instead stood by their Norwegian manager, and now Tottenham have swooped in and appointed the highly-rated Italian on an 18-month contract.
Here are a selection of comments posted by United supporters on social media platform Twitter;

Ole loses this weekend like we did against Liverpool and [it] could be trouble with no clear candidates."
@amit_mavar added: "This is an all-time low for Manchester United when Spurs out-do us."
@anish_shilpakar said: "Conte has very less pressure in the Spurs job than he would have in United job."
