Manchester United is reportedly considering Antonio Conte as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag.
Conte, currently unattached to any club, has garnered interest from several teams recently. A report from Fichajes suggests that Manchester United is monitoring him closely.
Having previously managed Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, the 54-year-old’s return to the English top flight would be unexpected.
Conte may be more inclined towards a new challenge in Italy, with clubs like AC Milan, Juventus, and Napoli showing interest in securing his services.
Recognized as one of Europe’s top managers, Conte could be an excellent addition to Manchester United.
However, luring him to Old Trafford might prove challenging, given his likely preference for a team poised to win trophies immediately.
With United currently in a rebuilding phase, Conte’s reputation for short-term stints at clubs may not align with the club’s need for a long-term vision.
The situation is still developing, but with Manchester United’s stature in world football and Conte’s managerial prowess, it appears to be a potentially ideal match.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag is aiming to retain his position beyond this season. Whether he can persuade the club’s leadership to keep faith in him remains to be seen.
Manchester United has had a disappointing season by their high standards and could be facing the prospect of missing out on European football next season.
