Manchester United weigh up Conte, the exception to revive the season

Antonio Conte, after his spell at Napoli, has said he is ready to return to the bench, specifying that his desire is to go to a club where “there is pressure, where you know very well that you are not there just to take part, but to compete and win”.

Conte's words

In his recent statement, Conte added that he would like to “dust off that story and make it shine once again” in an environment that demands immediate results. The Salento coach emphasized the importance of a challenge that goes beyond mere participation.

Usually, his approach involves starting summer preparation from day one, managing the squad through sales and purchases, but now he seems willing to make an exception to this long‑standing philosophy.

Manchester United in view

According to Enzo Bucchioni's editorial on TMW, Conte is said to be close to landing in the Premier League, specifically at Manchester United, where the Red Devils' management would have chosen him to revive the season.

The English club started the campaign poorly, suffering a defeat even yesterday at the hands of Tottenham, led by De Zerbi, making the search for a turnaround more urgent.

Bucchioni, also citing Juventus, observed that “Spalletti's hand is not visible” and that many players struggle to interpret the coach's demands, suggesting the use of Woltemade and Kolo Muani from the start to increase physicality and impact.

The end of a recent dispute was particularly tense: Spalletti and the Cagliari coach, Pisacane, were barely separated under the cameras' gaze, only to be sent off by the referee, a scene that left observers puzzled.

If the negotiation concludes positively, it will be the first time Conte accepts a role without starting from summer preparation, marking an exception in his career and potentially changing Manchester United's fortunes.
