Even though Antonio Conte would be one of the obvious options that Manchester United would have in case they choose to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, that possibility still hasn’t been strongly fed by the media so far.
However, with the Red Devils now failing to win three consecutive games in the Premier League, it’s natural to watch those rumours rising, and we get to see an interesting story from the Italian media today.
Outlet Calcio Mercato features a piece claiming it’s possible that the former Inter Milan boss could take charge of the Old Trafford side in the near future.
They say the hypothesis is now ‘gaining pace’, especially while Manchester United can still reduce the gap with clubs who are on top of the Premier League table.
Even though Antonio Conte still has payments to receive from his departure from Inter Milan, the chance of him giving up on that money is now considered, as moving quickly would give him a better chance to fight for titles this season with the Red Devils.
Unemployed since the end of the last season, Conte left the Nerazzurri after winning the Serie A title with the club.
This is all at the idea stage for now, but Calciomercato believe the chance of a quick move, even if it meant losing severance pay, would be tempting.
