Antonio Conte has snubbed the likes of Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw after a report named the nine Manchester United stars he’d build around if drafted in to succeed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Solskjaer is under increasing pressure as manager of the club where he became a legend. Manchester United had been reliant on the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jesse Lingard to secure last-gasp victories this season. Unlike their main three title rivals, United were cutting it fine when emerging with three points.
Their luck ran out on Sunday, however, when Liverpool put their rivals to the sword with relative ease.
The 5-0 thumping put Solskjaer’s position in the spotlight, though for now at least, the Norwegian appears safe.
