You don’t have to be an expert to know Michael Carrick is about to be sacked. Everything that is said about “long-term solution”, “needs time” and “has full control from management” means nothing when you manage one of the world’s biggest clubs and stop winning games. According to The Athletic , there are persistent concerns at INEOS about United’s intensity and ability to do the basics, such as running and closing spaces, under Carrick’s leadership.
Antonio Conte, along with Eddie Howe, is linked with the job as a potential replacement, the Italian “submits” his application in an interview with The Athletic.

“In England today they use bazookas [on the transfer market], while they still use guns everywhere else, but we also have to be careful about how the money is spent.

“If you go to a club where history speaks for itself – a history of trophies, league titles and victories – you can only honour that history in one way: by having the ambition to bring that club back, if it’s not there today, to fight for those goals,” Conte said.
“I know very well that only one team can win every year, but I have to carry it in my heart and inculcate it in the hearts of the fans, my players and my directors. That spark, that hope that makes you say: ‘F***, we can win’,” comes from an energetic Conte.

“There are a lot of clubs that have lost sight of their history. I would love to go to one of these clubs to dust off that history and make it shine again. Clubs where there is pressure, where at the end of the day you know very well that you are not going there just to participate, but to compete (for titles),” Conte concluded.

It’s probably not just us who hear an Italian yes in this interview, to want the job of leading Manchester United back to the top.
