According to Fabrizio Romano, Antonio Conte is ready to manage Manchester United. The club’s shortlist also includes Julian Nagelsmann and Eddie Howe, though the board still backs Michael Carrick.

Italian coach Antonio Conte is keen on the prospect of taking over as Manchester United's head coach if the position becomes vacant during the 2026/27 season. This news comes from esteemed insider Fabrizio Romano.

Conte has previously hinted at his desire to manage a top-tier club, and he considers the Red Devils fit into that category. Besides him, the club's shortlist includes former Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann and ex-Newcastle boss Eddie Howe.

However, it’s worth noting that the club hasn’t entered into official talks with any of these candidates at this time. The Manchester United board continues to express full confidence in Michael Carrick, hoping he can turn around the team's current struggles.
