Reports | Antonio Conte interested in replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United 

However, according to the Guardian, Antonio Conte would be open to discussing taking over the Manchester club if the Norwegian was let go from his post. According to the report, Sunday's embarrassing defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford has reiterated the belief that the former Malmo manager is not a good enough manager for the English giants. It is understood that the Norwegian is well-liked by the squad and staff but is considered tactically underwhelming.

Conte has not received any formal contract from the Premier League side although it is understood that the Italian is reluctant to take charge of a club in the middle of the season but is willing to make an exception. Reports have further indicated that the 52-year-old would want to understand United's vision before committing to any prospective deals with the Red Devils. Not only that, Joel Glazer is understood to have a meeting with managing director Richard Arnold to hold talks over any potential decision.
