The Times imagined Conte taking over Manchester United: building tactics around Cristiano Ronaldo, Jesse Lingard playing full-back?

According to the Analysis of the Times, if he takes over Manchester United, Conte is likely to decide to play a 4-3-3 formation according to Manchester United's squad, instead of the 3-5-2 formation he usually likes.

The Times pointed out that Conte is well aware of Ronaldo's value and will design a tactical system for him that can reach his full potential while compensating for his inability to press hard.

In the hypothetical world of Conte getting a job at Manchester United, The Times thought he would love the centre-back combination of Varane and Maguire. Both are typical Conte centre-backs with a wealth of top-level experience, physical fitness, leadership and the ability to get and dribble from the back.

The Times noted that Conte would love the propulsion capabilities Luke Shaw offered on the left. There is also Sancho, who has experience playing in Dortmund's high-pressure system. Sancho's former teammate Ashraf was very popular with Conte at Inter.

In addition, the Times imagined Conte's reinvention of the players, as he did with Moses at Chelsea. For example, will he transform Wan-Bissaka into a member of the three centre-backs, or will he transform Jesse Lingard into a diligent wing-back? Of course, it all builds on Conte's takeover of Manchester United.
