If the managers of the Manchester United club decide to remove Michael Carrick from the management of their team, Antonio Conte is the closest person to replace him.

According to Mehr reporter, Italian head coach Antonio Conte welcomes the possibility of leading the Manchester United football team and will consider returning to the English Premier League if the team's bench becomes vacant in the 2026-2027 season.

"Goal" media wrote: Conte, who has been left without a team after leaving Napoli this summer, is looking for an opportunity to return to the first level of European football.

Conte, who has a history of winning the English Premier League with Chelsea, has previously managed Chelsea and Tottenham teams. His experience in English football and his experience in big clubs have raised his name as one of the possible options for Manchester United.

This 57-year-old coach, in his statements about choosing his next team, also emphasized the importance of the history and status of the clubs and said that being in a team with a proud history and numerous titles carries a great responsibility. According to him, if such a club has strayed from its goals, the head coach should work with ambition to return it to the path of success.

Meanwhile, Michael Carrick has faced increasing criticism amid Manchester United's disappointing start to the Premier League season.

The recent draw against 10-man Tottenham at the Old Trafford Stadium has also added to the dissatisfaction of the fans. However, the situation inside the club has not yet reached an emergency stage and the managers have still given Carrick a chance to improve the team's situation. It has also been said that this coach still has the support of the players.

In addition to Conte, the name of Julian Nagelsmann, the head coach of the German national team, and "Eddie Howe" have also been mentioned as possible options to lead Manchester United. Nagelzaman has been in the attention of Ineos group managers for a long time.

Manchester United managers currently prefer to give the current head coach time to improve the team's results; Because changing the head coach in the middle of the season can cause a significant disruption in the team's process.
