Manchester United have reportedly opened talks with Antonio Conte, but the Red Devils are yet to make a decision over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s future.
The Norwegian coach is under pressure after suffering a 5-0 loss against Liverpool on Sunday.
According to multiple reports in Italy, the Premier League giants have made preliminary contacts with Conte, who is open to taking over at the Old Trafford while the season is ongoing.
A few months back, Fabrizio Romano reported Conte didn’t want to accept a new job before the end of the campaign, but the former Inter, Juventus and Chelsea coach seems now open to move to Old Trafford.
According to the transfer expert, there isn’t an official offer on the table for Conte as Manchester United have yet to make a decision over Solskjaer’s future.
The economic agreement between the club and the Italian coach doesn’t seem to be an issue, but until a formal offer is on the table, nothing can be given for granted.
The contract of the former striker at Old Trafford expires in June 2024 and the Premier League giants’ board is considering whether or not to sack the 48-year-old.
The Premier League giants face Tottenham, Atalanta and Manchester City before the November break.
To be clear about Antonio Conte. He’s never been a fan of joining clubs during the season as it’s not in his style – the only club right now that could change Antonio's mind is Manchester United 🔴 #MUFC
Still no official talks. Depends of Solskjær situation – matter of respect. pic.twitter.com/eaXrgygCjB
