In last weekend's Premier League double red cross, Manchester United was humiliated at home by their rivals Liverpool 5-0, suffering a very painful defeat, and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is naturally the first responsible person for the team's loss. Even counting this round, United have only scored one point in the previous three league rounds, and are in extremely bad shape. And this 0-5 may be the fuse for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's dismissal, and Manchester United seems to be not far from changing managers.
Sky Sports journalist Angelo Manjante tweeted on social media yesterday: "It's just a matter of time, Antonio Conte. "There was also a Manchester United topic symbol in the back and @ Sky Sports. This is no longer a hint, but a clear indication that United's new manager is likely to be Conte. In addition to him, two reliable Italian mobs, Romano and Di Marzio, have confirmed the rumors of Conte and Manchester United. Romano said Conte was ready to take over Manchester United and was awaiting an official offer from United. Di Marzio said that Conte is currently the most favorite new manager for Manchester United, the two sides have made initial contact, and Conte himself believes that once he takes over Manchester United, he can make Manchester United rise again and regain its former glory.
A ready-made successor is in front of United, depending on when the United top brass can sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. For Manchester United, this point in time is really not a good time to change managers. The next week will be played against Tottenham Hotspur away, Atalanta away and back home against Manchester City, all three of which will be an absolute uphill battle, and a change of manager is not a good idea.
And Conte will have his own problems if he joins Manchester United, everyone knows that Conte is best at playing the 3-5-2 formation of the three-back, but Manchester United does not seem to have enough good centre-backs and wing-back candidates. In addition, United's attacking line seems to be too bloated, and it is difficult to get enough playing time for all the big players in the 352 formation, which will undoubtedly be a big problem for Conte to take office.
Manchester United have not shown the level they should have after the introduction of Ronaldo and others, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's ability is indeed limited, unable to control such a luxurious but obviously flawed squad. Can United return to their place after welcoming a new manager of Conte or his equivalent?
