Few reports coming out we're in talks with Conte.

Needs a big personality to not be overawed. I can't think of many other than Conte who would be available or prepared to leave.

Agreed. Conte will have them knocked into shape in no time. His Chelsea side scored a lot of goals too.

I'd be looking at Fat Sam now you're in a relegation battle.

Newcastle is the more interesting situation, I mean do they spunk money in January and if so who is both good enough and prepared to go for a transitional period. Even with a blank cheque it's a difficult problem to get out of.

Slight case of the old delusions of grandeur going on here. Things have changed at the top of the Premiere League and Utd ain't the big draw they think they are .

Yeah, the idea that top managers won't want to manage Manchester United is daft. They are still absolutely massive.

It always baffles me when people come out and try to play the United aren't that big anymore card. They are the biggest club in England by miles and pretty much the world. Awful owners but the club just gets bigger and bigger. If you go on holiday anywhere in the world the first football team name on anybodys lips is Manchester United. It must really piss of the pretend clubs like City and Chelsea that just think they are big.

You could argue that they're primarily a commercial company these days with some football on the side. But agree, only Real can compete with the brand.

It is becoming somewhat of a poisoned chalice though. and the managers that like flashing the cash will obviously be seeking assurances that the owners will actually get the chequebook out for them. I wouldn't see Conte coming if he isn't assured he's going to get some serious backing to bring in some of his own players.

Hopefully Conte can entice Verratti, Bastoni and Chiesa to join us

Because you're a massive commercial behemoth that can afford it. Baffling that Sancho has barely played.

Because you're a massive commercial behemoth that can afford it. Baffling that Sancho has barely played. Baffling is Ole's trademark Sancho not getting a game. VDB not getting a game when we have struggled in midfield all season (and last). Maguire not getting dropped, yet has been at serious fault in about 60 games since he joined us. Maguire being given the captains armband for no apparent reason other than his price tag. Playing the same line up in the Liverpool game that got battered against Atalanta.

I hope United aren’t going to turn Sancho into the English Mkhitaryan after all this fuss they made trying to sign him

I'd take Zidane over Conte any day, really don't want Conte at all.

He’s already ruled himself out, he’s not interested. Basically will only come back to management for the French national job.

Zidane might seem a good choice on paper but I wouldn't want to take the risk of us being his first job outside one that was basically moulded for him to parachute into at Madrid. Plus I don't think he speaks English. Has disaster written all over it.
