Italian media report that alarm bells are ringing at Old Trafford after a start to the season that has revealed a number of weaknesses, including a rather inexperienced manager in Michael Carrick.
Manchester United have had a sluggish summer market, so the manager cannot be entirely to blame for the poor points haulage in the first four games. Before Michael Carrick got the job as interim manager in January, ex-manager and Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was involved in a final round. – Specific requirements for co-determination in the transfer market are said to have been instrumental in choosing Carrick.

Manchester United have just four points from four games, one win, one draw and two losses.
Work has started to find a replacement, but so far no one has been contacted. – A list has been drawn up and Italian media believe that Antonio Conte is high on that list.
Antonio Conte is without a club after he left Napoli in the summer. – Now the rumor carousel around the coach’s next job has started in earnest. Conte has been contacted by Fenerbahçe, but chose to close that door immediately, the Italian national team was also in the picture for a while after they failed to qualify for the 3rd World Cup in a row.
Several Italian media, including Corriere della Sera and Football Italia, write that the 57-year-old is also highly rated at Manchester United.
The latter newspaper writes that Conte is United’s preferred option should the Premier League club decide to sack Michael Carrick. There is no credible information in England yet that the “Red Devils” are considering getting rid of Carrick.
Juventus is also mentioned as a possible destination for Conte.
The Italian has a past in the Premier League, where he has coached both Chelsea and Tottenham. In London, there was one league championship and one FA Cup victory.
Conte also has a history at Juventus, Inter and the Italian national team.
The hope for Manchester United lies in the next hero, then there is an away meeting at Craven Cottage against Fulham who have also not made things work this season.
