The loss to Manchester United on Wednesday night, according to Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte, was a result of their inability to compete at the same high level.

In a 2-0 victory over Spurs at Old Trafford, United had goals from Bruno and Fred Fernandes.

Conte has acknowledged that his team deserved to lose because they hardly made an impact on David De Gea, who was playing goal for the Red Devils.

In the game, United, he said, "deserved to win," according to Amazon Prime. They played a really good game. On our side, I think the level has to be higher. We need to improve a lot and to try and be better than today.

“The first goal was a deflection, but at the end, I have to be honest and tell you, United played better than us." They created more chances than us. On the pitch, we put will but we have to show this level. We need to try to improve and be better. The level was high and United showed today that they are much better than us today.

“I consider United a really good team and you know very well what they did in the transfer market and what they can spend." You are talking about two different levels. In this type of game, we can do better. We struggled against Chelsea and Arsenal yesterday and today.

“We have to try to improve and there is only work to do this. I repeat, especially in this type of game when the atmosphere is a lot of noise, United are an important team. We can improve and increase our level.
