# Tottenham Hotspur: Danny Mills claims Antonio Conte could quit

**Tottenham manager Antonio Conte may quit to join Manchester United if he is not backed by the north London club in the summer transfer window, according to [former England defender](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/danny-mills/nationalmannschaft/spieler/3743/verein_id/3299) Danny Mills.**

### The Lowdown: Conte wanted by PSG

According to a report by [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-psg-plot-move-for-conte-after-new-tottenham-twist/) last Friday, Paris Saint-Germain are monitoring the 52-year-old, as they fear that their current boss Mauricio Pochettino could become the next Man United manager.

[Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-news-antonio-conte-may-quit-for-man-united-after-sources-new-update-pundit/) have claimed that the Italian is considering a swift exit from Hotspur Way after publicly sharing his disappointment with the club’s January transfer window.

### The Latest: Mills’ claim about Conte

Mills, who regularly works as a pundit for [BBC Radio 5 Live](https://icdb.tv/stats/1628/Danny-Mills), believes that Conte could be off to PSG or Man United if he is not going to be backed by Spurs in the summer transfer window.

Speaking to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-news-antonio-conte-may-quit-for-man-united-after-sources-new-update-pundit/), the 44-year-old claimed:

*“The Manchester United job will come up again and PSG could be on the cards.*

*“He’s not particularly happy anywhere he’s been. It’s a bit like Mourinho, he’s successful for a period and then falls out with people, whether that be the players or the hierarchy.*

*“We know what he’s like and there’s every chance it will be a difficult summer if he doesn’t get what he wants and what he feels he’s been promised.*

*“You look at it, Man United may need a new manager, Pochettino will probably leave PSG. All of a sudden that managerial merry-go-round starts to spin quite quickly.*

*“If one or two start to tumble then vacancies open up and it all starts to change very quickly.”*

### The Verdict: Would be a huge blow for Spurs

Losing Conte would be a huge setback for Tottenham as it is, but losing him to a top-four rival in Man United would be an even bigger blow.

Although Spurs have suffered in form in recent weeks, with [Conte enduring his worst run](https://football-italia.net/tottenham-give-conte-worst-losing-streak-in-12-years/) in more than 12 years having suffered his third Premier League defeat in a row in the 2-0 loss to Wolves, the Italian has a strong enough CV to justify being given a sizeable transfer kitty to spend if he feels it is needed.

Described by current Spurs player [Ben Davies](https://www.teamtalk.com/tottenham-hotspur/ben-davies-confident-world-class-antonio-conte-transform-team) as “a world-class manager”, this shows how highly some players regard the 52-year-old, who unfortunately has a history of abrupt exits from previous stints at [Inter Milan](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/may/26/antonio-conte-leaving-inter-over-plan-to-sell-80m-of-players) and [Chelsea](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10369271/Antonio-Conte-lifts-lid-Chelsea-sacking-returns-Stamford-Bridge-time.html).

Therefore, it would be a devastating blow to see him in charge at Old Trafford next season, but as Mills has hinted, it cannot be ruled out if the N17 hierarchy continue to frustrate Conte.
