Antonio Conte: see why he will be appointed Manchester United manager after Solskjaer

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may be shown the exit doors at the club if he fails to turn around the shape of things at the club currently and start getting results. Three managers are believed to be high on the club's list to replace him but the favourite is Antonio Conte.

The two other managers are Zinedine Zidane who is a former manager of Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid and current Ajax manager Erik Ten Hag who is a former manager of Donny Van de Beek. The top priorities are Zidane and Conte, a choice between the two will be priority on Paul Pogba and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Antonio Conte recently commented on Paul Pogba and how he can be made to play the best. "Pogba was definitely more solid in midfield, he fought for every inch defensively and I think this was a very important game for him tonight. He's got great potential and could be a great player both offensively and defensively for Juventus. That is me saying this, remember I used to be up and down the field myself in my playing days. Paul can fulfil his potential and become a great champion. It's our duty to make him grow in the right way in order to understand the game and adapt to different situations."

Conte is also an experienced Premier League manager having managed Chelsea to their last Premier League title in 2017, the club's last league title. He also has a language advantage over Zidane who doesn't speak English.
