After Real Madrid sacked Julen Lopetegui, it was believed that Antonio Conte was all but set to take charge at the Spanish capital club earlier this week.

However, the deal did not take shape and Mundo Deportivo claim the Italian has already received an offer from England, just months after being relieved from his duties at Chelsea.

The Catalan newspaper reports the former Blues manager has been approached by Manchester United, if their current manager Jose Mourinho decides to leave Old Trafford and return to Madrid.

Conte is ‘more attracted to Manchester United offer’ than the one he received from the Champions League winners.

It has been widely reported the former Juventus coach wants to control the dressing room and he is looking for a project that will suit him, something that he did not find from Real Madrid’s offer but believes he can get that with the 20-time English champions.

A section of Manchester United fans who are unhappy with Mourinho at the helm due to his style of football, may be delighted with this report, but this is only possible if the Portuguese tactician decides to take the Real Madrid job next summer.
