Don't like Conte style of play at all. Christ we will be playing five at the back in some games. He won't know what to do with all our attacking force and have to be a mass clear out to play his style of football. Brendon Rodgers for me from what's available.
Actually we worry about everything except winning.
You are quite right about that.
Indeed. Winning 30 games and scoring 85 league goals with a +52 goal difference is just terrible to even imagine.
It's interesting that you'd prefer a guy who was odds on to win a title with Liverpool, then crumbled, and whose team crumble every season, instead of a guy who has won the league here.
I'm really unsure on Conte, Zidane, Rodgers etc, but it seems odd to downplay the one guy who has won the big prize here.
I do know that all 3 of those would be better equipped than poor Ole though.
Lovely fantasty of a cult hero player transitioning into a top manager, but when you realise this is top level football, you wonder what other industry would employ someone without the top background of managing.
This is a no brainer, anyone that thinks he is a defensive coach has got him wrong, his teams are very well drilled defensively when out of possession but when in possession his teams do some serious damage. He has used wingers as wing backs with great success playing quick attacking football
I am very curious to see how our player would play under conte's style
Sounds to me like we want to bring Conte in but don't want to have the pressure mounting with the upcoming fixture list. The bad news is the next 7 games are going to be hell. A caretaker would've been a smart move considering Ole's lost half the players.
After Arsenal at home with we have a relatively easy schedule with Palace, Young Boys, Norwich, Brentford. I hope Conte is in by then.

I thought the noise (from the club, not Italy) is that we don’t want Conte. And you have key figures backing Ole to stay on too.
Maybe, but I don't feel like the board works like that. They're a bunch of cowards that would rather feed Ole to the wolves than sack him because they just gave him a new contract. I actually believe that they think if he wins the next 2 games that they'll keep him and thing they ride him out for the rest of the season. It's pathetic.
I do get the reluctance with Conte. Ideally you'd want a manager with an aggressive style who could coach the likes of Rashford, Greenwood and Sancho to be more proactive off the ball and actually do a bit of pressing from the front.
We should do what Chelsea did with Tuchel. 18 month contract with an option to extend. If it doesn't work out, feck him off and you haven't lost much. If it goes well, great. We can't continue to sleepwalk with Solskjaer, and the lack of great available options might actually help us get away from this idea of being married to a manager for 3 or 4 years.

Since our last league title, Conte has won league titles at THREE different clubs - Juventus, Chelsea and Inter.
And our club and fans are turning their nose up on him yet were comfortable with Ole for the past 2 years? Our club and fans are reserved on him when Enrique, Zidane aren't interested at all and Ten Hag wants to wait till summer '22?
Unbelievable.

Conte actually does press high, he is nowhere near Mourinho, it's why he is still successful, while Mourinho is done at high level.
I'm sure some of you might have been watching the video but he has apparently changed some players positions at clubs.
Brozovic from CAM to CDM.
Moses to RWB.
Azpilicuetta to RCB.
I do like the sound of this, just because it does sound interesting.
Anyone have any ideas where someone may change their position for us?

Laughable, isn't it. The complaint is he hasn't been doing great in CL
I don’t know but Ole has had superb results on merit at difficult away grounds as well. 2-0 away win at City last season for example. How about all the superb comebacks from being a goal down in most away games? Thing is every manager has his moments during a season
Old clip. He was having none of it
Interesting video from a Chelsea fan about Conte at Utd.
How do you know that?
I think he probably means Ten Hag is committed to Ajax until the summer at the very least, rather than seeing his destiny as United manager in summer 22.
Yes I would and could see him lining up 5-3-2 with Lingard or Sancho taking the RWB position instead of AWB and a midfield three of Pogba Bruno and VDB with Ronaldo and Rashford up front.
Something has to give with this team and Conte will drop anyone not pulling their weight. Also won't be 10 headless chickens on the field.

I see. I'd wait the summer for him. And please bring VDS.
"He won't need a transfer window."
"Playing at a high level in a few weeks."
"If Conte was Manchester United manager against Spurs Harry Maguire would be dropped... Luke Shaw would be dropped...[...] the problems aren't personnel, they're tactical"
Has he got account on here?
Rashford LWB, Dalot RWB, McTominay CB, Greenwood banging them in upfront for Spurs.
AWB to CB (can not by worse than recent Maguire). DVB to CM, Shaw as LWB/LW, Pogba to CAM, Lingard to SS.
How I imagine us lining up with Conte.
RWB Sancho LWB Telles CB Maguire Varane Lindelof CM Pogba VDB Bruno CF Ronaldo CF Rashford
RWB Sancho LWB Telles CB Maguire Varane Lindelof CM Pogba VDB Bruno CF Ronaldo CF Rashford
As it should be. Not emotional reactions like 'we must punish someone for a scoreline!'. Do what is best for the club with a calm head, even if it takes a year. Look at what the likes of Bayern do
He won't leave Ajax midway through a season and whilst pretty much having them progress to the UCL KOs.
If Conte does indeed drop Maguire, he won’t be United’s manager in a long while. The club simply won’t allow it to happen to a 80M asset to sit on the bench or out of the team. I personally think he will play Maguire in his XI though. Why wouldn’t he?
He looks a bit too buzzing for it to happen to be a Chelsea fan (regardless of him saying the contrary).
Spot on about dropping Shaw and Maguire though at least.
Do we just wait for Carlo Ancelotti to be available, and hope that it is soon ?
Maybe because he's slow, bad in 1on1, can't read the game and he's only good traits is heading away crosses.
And he's not a 80 asset as noone would pay even close to that for him.
But you don't have to be worried, he will play, but that is becouse of lack of better options, not Maguire being a good defender.
VDB from the bench to the pitch might be a start
De Gea
Lindelof Varane Maguire
AWB/Dalot - Fred/Matic - Pogba/VdB - Shaw/Telles
Bruno/Sancho
Ronaldo/Cavani Rashford/Greenwood

Front 3 swaps between wingers or 2 forwards and a 10. Think he tries to get Pogba to work in midfield now that he'd have a back 3 behind him, extra guy should be enough tbh. Slight chance at Lingard bring a RWB, Dalot LWB, Shaw LCB, Bruno being a CM and competing with Pogba.

Very interesting, thanks.
I think fans on here need to listen to the reaction from other fans - as a lot of my mates (Liverpool fans mainly) are saying they'd be worried if Conte was to come in and now there are Chelsea fans saying the same.
The club seems fine with 73M Jadon Sancho sitting on the bench, or is the benchmark specifically 80M and above?
Conte wouldn’t pick Ronaldo in my opinion.
Cavani possibly but not Ron.

Send him out to Altrincham on loan.
