Michael Carrick has full confidence in the Manchester United management. Until he doesn’t. We saw it with Ten Hag and Ruben Amorim. When the owners suddenly find out that enough-is-enough, it doesn’t help with “full confidence” declarations the week before, then things move quickly. We hope Carrick can lift United through the autumn and winter, especially when Antonio Conte is one of the candidates mentioned as a possible replacement.
Ratcliffe and the United management have already blundered by giving Erik ten Hag a second round, only to be sacked a few months later, then Ruben Amorim who was tipped out after 14 months. It will take a lot for the decision to give Carrick the permanent job to also end in a panicked dismissal. Still, we have seen it before, and will not be surprised if Carrick is dumped without results in November.

According to English Hard Tackle , Antonio Conte is in as a possible replacement for Carrick. The Italian coach is as usual out of work after 1-2 seasons at the same club, so the availability is there. It is therefore encouraging for us, who do not see Conte as a long-term solution for United, that the Italian is in holiday mode.
Conte has been on vacation since leaving his job as Napoli boss after last season. In connection with the celebration of the 30th anniversary of Juventus’ Champions League title, Conte sent a video greeting to the attendees at the Festival dello Sport.
“I would love to be there with you, but I’m not in Italy. I’m still enjoying my vacation because this is the year I have the opportunity to relax and rest,” he said, according to Football-Italia.

Doesn’t sound like Conte is ready to get a call from Manchester in November for a new round of English winter football.
