Conte Says No Ongoing Talks over Taking Man United Job
Conte says he will wait for the right opportunity and rejects reports that he demanded transfer control and financial terms.
- On Friday, Antonio Conte posted an Instagram statement denying he is in advanced negotiations with Manchester United or any other club, calling reports of specific demands "unfounded."
- Speculation regarding the 57-year-old manager emerged as Manchester United boss Michael Carrick faces pressure following a 4-1 defeat to Como in the Champions League.
- La Repubblica claimed Conte wanted "carte blanche on the transfer market" and "trusted collaborators" in his backroom staff. Conte rejected these reports as speculation with no concrete basis for such assessments.
- United director Jason Wilcox prefers a manager with Premier League experience if Carrick is sacked, though captain Bruno Fernandes recently criticized the team's tactics following the Como loss.
- Known for a "combustible personality" and intense training, the former Tottenham and Inter Milan manager stated he will take time to decide when conditions are "right" for his return.
