'It hurts my heart': Patrice Evra says Man United will regret not moving for Antonio Conte last year after the Italian led Tottenham into the Champions League... but Old Trafford legend will be backing Erik ten Hag

Patrice Evra is still 'hurt' that Manchester United didn't appoint Antonio Conte as manager after the Italian's impressive impact at Tottenham.

Spurs appointed Conte in early November after sacking Nuno Espirito Santo and went on to finish fourth in the Premier League standings, ensuring a return to Champions League football next season.

United fired Ole Gunnar Solskjaer later in November and by which time had missed out on Conte, who had been linked with them.
