Antonio Conte open to taking Man Utd job

Antonio Conte open to taking Man Utd job

Former Inter boss Antonio Conte would be open to replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United if the opportunity arose, but 90min understands he has concerns over just how much the Red Devils would actually want him.

Solskjaer was under immense pressure at Old Trafford even before Sunday's humiliating 5-0 defeat at home to Liverpool, after which there have been intense calls for a change to be made.

One of the leading candidates to replace Solskjaer is Conte, who remains out of work after leaving Inter in the summer, and sources have confirmed to 90min that the Italian would be interested in holding talks over joining the club.

Conte is not actively waiting for the Old Trafford gig, but he would listen if the phone rang, although he would have a number of significant concerns over his fit for the role.

A primary concern for the former Inter boss is his fit with the United philosophy. Those in charge at the club have championed a free-flowing, attacking style of football, while Conte's success has come from a more pragmatic approach.
