Manchester United have added Antonio Conte to their shortlist of candidates for the managerial position. The Italian hinted at his willingness to replace Michael Carrick at Old Trafford.
The former Chelsea and Tottenham boss is currently unemployed following his departure from Napoli at the end of last season. Recently, Conte laid out his vision for how he could help get United back to their best.
Journalist Pete O'Rourke has commented on the situation regarding a potential managerial change.
If United decide to look for a new manager and part ways with Michael Carrick, Antonio Conte would be one of the top candidates. He has proven his ability to win during his time at Chelsea and in Italy. He is currently out of work, making it much easier to bring him in. The hierarchy still trust Carrick and hope he can turn things around.
Insider Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the club hierarchy currently backs Carrick. He reported that the players are fully behind their manager. However, he noted that poor results are leading to discussions about alternative options.
Improvements and significant changes are necessary to avoid dark clouds settling over Old Trafford. Names like Conte and Julian Nagelsmann are already circulating for various reasons. The club is resolute in their faith in Carrick, hoping to turn the tide starting with the upcoming home match against Tottenham.
